96 Accord wiper problem
Lots of rain last week, after a dry, dry summer. Noticed that the wipers
became very erratic in where they reversed their stroke. Would start
working fine, then after a few minutes would start slapping at the bottom of
the stroke, and the right wiper would sometimes come way over at the top of
the stroke. Wind at highway speed seemed to move them around a lot.
Motor? Transmission? I'm guessing the guts are under the plastic vent
thingy at the bottom of the windshield. How tough to get at?

Hi,
Teflon bushing(s) in the transmission is cracked or worn out probably.
You have to remove the plastic vent thingy(your description) and take
a look.
