Hi,
I have an issue with my windshield wipers that just came up. Up until today i have had zero issues with my wipers however today they stopped working. Unfortunately i have to keep my vehicle outside and the weather in upstate new york is anything but mild. Today i went out to my x and it was covered in ice, including the wipers being frozen to the windshield. I i popped them loose, however when i turned them on i could hear the motor working, but the wipers wouldn't move. When i turned the wipers off i could go outside and slide them up and down easily. Is this simply a case of them getting frozen over and when they thaw out they should work fine again or is there a more serious problem with them? I didn't know if xterra wipers were more prone to not working when frozen or not. Any advice on or ideas about what the issue is would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
