my windy wipers have gone on my 1970 beetle?! they just died which is unfortunate when we have all this rain in qld! Is it a big job or can anyone local help me out? i live in the North Lakes area can anyone help out?

or the switch...

have you checked the fuses??

the wiper has 2 speeds... and none work???

I would test the switch then the motor, the motor would be the most expensive part to fix (in comparision to a $10 switch anyway), if thats gone then get a new one its a simple replacement though once you get the bits
