Hi Guys, can any of you give me some tips, hints, and/or advice on how I should go about fixing my broken rear wiper. One day I tried turning it on and it didn't work. The same thing happened about a year after owning it, but it was under warranty so I had the dealer fix it. Now, it is not...

I know, I know, this horse has been beaten way past death, but I was desperately hoping someone had more info or an update on this lift. I anxiously thumb through the mags in the supermarket, but to no avail, not even a mention of it. I'm dying for just one morsel of hope that will keep me...
