Wiper failure!

70mph (honest officer) on the Motorway this afternoon. Absolute downpour and the drivers wiper linkage came off!

Arrrggghhh! Another thing to do. Drill followed by nut and bolt methinks!

If you were on the M6 through GT manchester heading north in the rain today and a black TF suddenly weaved all over the place - that was me, trying to look out of the passenger side. Sorry! :D

It has happened to me too, in an Italian motorway, the wiper linkage was broken. I fixed it temporarily with a rubber band, when I was home I ordered a repair kit and fixed it definitively.:)
I may go the kit route, but looking at the linkage, it's not very good - looks like it's from a Metro/Maestro? I think a nut and bolt greased up will last longer and be cheaper as I already have the stuff!
Linkage failure isnt so bad, I had motor fail on me - also motorway speed in torrential downpour at 5am
