windshield wipers

hey, has anyone's windshield wipers ever not worked, because mine haven't been working lately or when they do i have to leave the wipers on for a couple minutes. I think it might be the motor. has anyone ever changed the wiper motor? is it hard to do? if someone could help me i'd be thankful

I don't know, but I had this problem with a Skoda I drove through Prague... had to sit and wait in the rain for the motor to warm up or something....

I'm pretty sure the motor isn't too hard to spot.. think it's the big black cylinder shaped thing nead the windshield under the hood. Haven't looked around in a while so don't quote me on that

Someguy,

do your other accessories work, when the wipers are givin you problems? namely the heater/ac fan. if it slows down, or functions trangely it may be something else. I had a similiar problem, and it was beacause my wipers wjust weren't getting power.
