Dave Conner's Jointed wiper arms

[LL - NY]

Just wait until you try to get into the car and those lovely door handles
freeze ... open. BTDT countless times with both my Mk2 GTi and 4KQ.  Problem
seems to have been reduced (I'll never say "solved" and risk P.O, the Audi
Gods) greatly by the flush doorhandles of my 200/UrS/parent's Passat.
