	Problems are like jello: you push down in one area and stuff squirts out another. A few weeks ago I posted a method to add intermittent (delay) operation to wipers. It's been drizzly here in San Diego county and I gotta say that having intermittent wiper operation is a delight in the Wonderbus. But because Ma Universe makes sure that there is no such thing as a free lunch, a new problem has surfaced to fill the problem vacuum: a fairly loud and piercing squeak with every stroke of the wiper blades. Driver side. When the blade reaches its full extension. Every time. Squeak. Pause. Squeak. Pause. Rinse and repeat. <Wife and kids start glaring at me> So . . . where do I squirt the oil . . . or do I need to pull the dash to get to the offending bushing? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR

	If you flip the wiper arm forward so the wiper is not contacting the glass and run it, does it still squeek? "Mike Rocket J.

Lifting one wiper made no difference. Then lifting the second did stop the squeak. Putting that one back down did not bring the squeak back, putting the other back did -- after a few strokes. Leaving this one down and lifting the other made the squeak stop. It does not seem to be coming from the wipers themselves, but more like whether it is there depends on how much load the linkage is driving.

Put some 3-in-1 oil into the wiper spindles. If that doesn't work, try pulling the mechanism and regreasing it. -- Howard Rose 1966 VW Beetle 1300 Deluxe 1962 Austin Mini Deluxe 1964 Austin Mini Super Deluxe http://www.howard81.co.uk/ (cars on website)

OR -- get off my lazy butt and remove the wiper arms and discover that the nut that holds the driver side wiper axle bushing on the driver's side has come loose. Tighten as needed. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly except for the slight degree of pleasure experienced having found the problem. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR
