long list of us that have made that mistake

I always make a "wiper" out of tape on the shaft and activate the wiper to look if it is in wiping the right way.. never crashed a wiper.  Another solution is to put the wiper on in the upright position for the first test.. if possible..  but i recomment to do it with a piece of tape.

You merely joined the long list of us that have made that mistake or one like it. I think I made that one in 2008.

my cowl has the scar to prove that statement..

Great to hear that it is fixed. My windshield is also waterproof again. I used some new precision brand rubber gasket which fits very nicely and looks great, too.
