Too much fun, what's that mean?That's like too much boost,there's no such thing.

hey dont feel so bad, one of my wipers fell off while i was driving in the rain last week, and i havent replaced it yet.....its actually not that bad driving in the rain with no wipers =)

Very common problem on Ford depressed park wipers. I remember seeing an article somewhere about taking the wiper motor apart and rebending some metal tabs that guide the sliding metal plate on the back of the motor to fix the problem. Probably easier to grab a new wiper motor from the JY that hopefully is in better shape than yours. Any 83-88 Tbird motor should be the same.
