[Vwdiesel] busted windshield wipers

[Will Taygan]

On mine the grooves that connect the motor post to the wiper were
stripped.  It's an easy fix: Remove the wipers from their post (take off
the nut).  Take a pick and clean out the grooves on the post.  create
some new grooves in the female part of the wiper.  Good Luck!
