Default Winshield Wiper

Hi All -

The windshield wipers on my 2001 Z06 will stop once you switch them off but will not drop the last couple inches into the stowed position. Anybody encountered this before and has a recommended fix?

Thanks,
Tim

Check the drain udders on both the drivers and passenger side. Problem can be worse on the passenger side as water can back up into the passenger foot well and get the BCM and other electronics wet causing expensive problems.
Thanks. My udders were full of leaves... unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I suspect the damage may already be done.
