Re: Help, wiper won't shut of normally.



I've never had a problem with VW wipers before, but I would suggest that you
check your ground wire on the wiper motor.  You might as well clean all of
them while you're at it.  I base this on experience with other vehicles with
the same problem and this cured it.

HTH,
