 Vauxhall Vectra C - 06 1.8 Wipers, Snow and now not self parking. - Redviper
Hi All
I think I have broken my wipers, I cleared about a foot of snow off the car this morning as much as I could the rest was iced onto the body work.
I removed as much snow from the wipers and surrounding area as I could the rest was heavily compacted into the various traps around where the wipers sit.

Anyway There was still about 3 handfuls of snow that had come down from the roof as I was clearing it, didn’t see it has much of a problem and hit the wipers on.
Anyway it was a problem and the wipers went halfway up the screen and stopped. I switched off moved more offending snow (its still snowing) and tried again now its intermittent what they do its either

• Stop in the position they got stuck in when switched off
• Stop for a while and then move again when wiping
• Park slightly above the normal park position.
• Don’t stop when I cancel the wipers using the stalk (IIRC)

What have I done! Is the damage fatal, and is it going to be expensive.

I know im stupid, for letting it wipe a couple of handfulls of snow.

Many Thanks
