i been having problem with my wiper since i got my car......every morning when i start up the car first time of the day, or when its still cold the wiper motor does not work! it takes time til the car is warm up for the wiper to work..anyone know the problem?
how hard is it to uninstall it? how much?
will any wiper from civic (2dr, 4dr, hb) fit? how about from integras?

TIA

My wipers are starting to get cranky as well. They have a very delayed reaction. WHen I turn them on, it takes at least 5 seconds before they actually start wiping. Sometimes, they would even get stuck at the top of the swing and I start looking like a riceboy that purposely keeps his wipers up. It's not that big of a problem to me since they still work.

I wonder if it's the relay, and not the motor though...

If the wiper still moves then I doubt it's the motor, it's probably the relay. The whole wiper assy is pricey if you go through the dealer. If you really want to replace it, try a junkyard first, I'm sure all 5th gen civic wiper assy. are interchangeable. I'm gonna wait until mine goes kaput and I'll get the infamous one wiper conversion.

I have the same problem. usually when I switch from intermittent to low the wipers pause for a second. Usually during that time I think, "Oh crap, my wipers are broken and it's raining."

I have a cheap solution though. Rain-X that beotch and drive faster.

True, RainX is the shiznit. I actually haven't used my wipers in months except for driving around neighborhoods where I can only go 25 and the RainX is useless. I don't have the luxury of intermittent wipers though. I have low and high and that's it. Has anyone tried the rainx wiper fluid?
