We managed to find a piece of wire in the trunk that was barely long

wipers to go up. We spent hours letting the wipers go up, and pulling
them back down, letting them go up and pulling them back down over and
over and over again.

Nice story.

I've lost count of how many times I've done emergency fixes to things "on
