    I'm a doofus

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I had some ice rattling under the hood towards the windshield. Opened the hood and pulled the wiper out to break the ice. Forget to push the wiper back in and shut the hood

    Drum roll please.....








    Any idea on the replacement cost? Calling the dealer tomorrow, just curious.

    I'd be more worried about the wiper motor mechanism itself, having to hold enough torque to bend the wiper arm like that. That sucks man....I hate when I do stuff like that.

    Get the part number from the dealer along with the cost.
    Go on GenuineAudiParts.com to compare - should be cheaper online even with shipping.
    I'm guessing will cost you $80 or so... let us know how much it ends up being though.
