Windshield wipers were vibrating/shaking when in off position at speeds over 50 mph. Apparently the nuts/mounts had become stripped over time. Had to replace entire wiper motor/transmission because it's sold as one part.
Started snowing here, turned on the windshield wipers and the attachment where the wiper arm bolts onto the post from the internal arms started moving up as the wiper went across the windshield. Got home, opened the hood, took out 2 retaining clips for the cover over the windshield wiper motor and discovered a loose bolt. Took about 30 minutes to get the plastic cover up high enough to tighten the bolt down. Dealer could have done it but their next appointment was 26 days from now. Had the bolt finished coming out, the wiper arm would have begun hitting the hood and potentially chipping the paint. Decided I didn't want to wait for the appointment and then the amount of time it would have taken to repaint the hood. Total time, 45 minutes to fix myself.
