Wife's 855T was parked for two days during heavy sleet. Today she had to go into work so I scraped all the ice off the windshield and got the wipers free of the glass. Also dug out the ice around the arms as well as I could. She loves to use her windshield wipers, and there must have been a smear of water on the windshield as she backed out. The passenger side wiper traveled across it's full arc and jammed against the driver's side wiper that didn't budge. The passenger arm retracted as normal when pushed off the driver's side arm.

I don't recall the linkage arrangement between the two but I suspect that something broke or the splined shaft in the driver's side wiper arm just spun in the arm. I'll take a heat gun to it tonight and get the rest of the ice out of the way to see.

Guesses?

Thanks.
