Hi. About a week ago, both window vipers stopped working simultaneously in the middle of a stride, at normal speed setting. I could hear the viper motor still going, without the vipers moving. Luckily, I wasn't far from home, and there was little traffic.
I parked the car, and checked the vipers. They could both be moved independently, and were not linked. I unscrewed the plastic cover, and found that the rightmost part of the linkage had come off the right viper's base.
It looked like the linkage arm could be pushed back onto its base. I did so, and it seemed to hold on well. I put everything back together, and tried to move one viper manually: The other one followed. I moved the other one, and the first one followed too. The I tried the vipers from the inside of the car: No reaction, only the sound of the viper engine working. I removed the linkage cover again, to see if the linkage had come off the right viper, but it hadn't, and I could still move both vipers by moving one.
What's the problem here, do you guys think?
