Default Windshield wiper help....please.

My wipers work, then just stop, then start again all by themselves. This is when I have them turned on, trap door up & locked in place. Got caught on my way home from last show, thanks for Rain-X, double coated before we lefthome. Anyone else ever have this problem??? :confused: I am assuming its just as easy to get the whole moter redone? Thanks for the help.
