I was driving along today about 20mph in the rain and all of the sudden my right side wiper blade became unattached from the arm It cyled two are three time as before I good get it off. I did not see any damage but it did initially put me into a state of painc as I have just repainted and replaced the windshild with a 91 and newer style. When I had the painting and glass work done, I had some surface rust that was also taken care of. My only worry now is that when the wiper blade came off the arm and to rest on the lower winshild/crowl area it might have some how pushed up the winshield sill and scrathed the paint causing the rust issue all over agin. I reinstlled the blade and it seems fine. Hopefully that is the case. Should the winshield sill be lifted and examined in that area, or am I just overly concerned? (I want to drive the car another 3million plus miles by the way)

Thanks and happy bricking.

    I can't guess whether you'll have any return of the rust problem, though cowl and lower a-pillar rust does seem to be an issue with some 240s.
    The really common problem however, is that the wiper arms can back off the wiper shafts. Flip up the covers and tighten the shaft nuts with a 13mm wrench. This applies to all 240s, 7's, 8's , and 9's as well.
    If a wiper arm is in the wrong place, too high or too low, the arm can be loosened, moved to the right parking location and then tightened down.

    Good luck with it.
