Default boooo problems

Today, I think my passenger wiper is loose? It came up slower than the driver side wiper and they got tangled and the blades are all twisted and bent now I have a small tool kit, but nothing that fits the nut at the bottom of the wiper to tighten or loosen it. Sigh...

aaaaaaand. I think I am about to get clusterfvcked. I was driving and the tach just went to zero, and then shot back up a second later. Here it goessss...

drive your car to autozone and ask the nice man behind the counter to install your wipers.

Default Haha, the blades are still able to be taken off, so I should be fine...

although I might ask them to borrow tools since my little kit is insufficient for the entire wiper arm... I wonder if they'll do that or just tell me to buy a set. I just hope the stress of the blades tangling didn't damage any of the motors moving the wipers.

Default Welcome to Audi ownership. That is all.

I have a separate bank account for TT maintenance.

Default did you check the fuse block on top of the battery??? >>>

corrosion there has proven to be an issue....

All of those leads should be clean!

Default Haha yeah... I have a good set of tools at home, I'm just away at school, so...

but I'm making the drive home tomorrow, so I'll have a much easier time and a warm garage instead of trying to figure this out in 20-degree weather.

Default dammitttttttt so I went to AutoZone...

<center><img src="http://www.federal-mogul.com/NR/rdonlyres/C4FBEBEC-3E98-4B87-B53D-6D9D59795E1E/0/2_1_5_5_1_2Contourwebimage3.jpg"></center><p>borrowed some tools from them, tightened the bolt at the base of the wiper arm, and it is still doing not functioning properly. The motor is running fine, its just that wiper is not following it. I'm guessing one of the components is stripped? But how can it happen so suddenly, since it's been fine up until today. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out when I go home.

Meanwhile, since my other two blades are bent out of shape, I bought new ones, the ANCO contours. Aren't the 3.2 wipers similar?
