My employee had to do this a week or so ago.  We had a 24" dump of wet snow.  Broke his wiper while he was stuck trying to get to work.

With the ability to get the rig back on the road safely, makes me think the employee is a keeper and can get almost any dilemma back on track.    :stayinlane:

LOL. waaaay back my buddy with the F8/F8 318 benchseat Barracuda and I were driving around in the rain and his wiper motor broke. used shoe laces tied to them and back through each window and just kept pulling them back and forth. worked until we got home, lol. fun memory

Nice. Extra points would be given for chicken wire and duct tape.

Awesome job!  Clearly an engineer . . .  :yes:

still using the rig up.  he said he's got over 350 miles on it.   It's raining in buena vista right now so he said he might have to actually fix it tonight.
