face=Arial>Yes, I've seen a 72 wiper unit get destroyed when the horn wiper
blades got hooked on a burr and wear hole. It ripped the plastic apart like it
wasn't even there. I think something similar must have happened to the 71 column
unit in my 65 Notch, as both horn wiper blades are missing from it (horn doesn't
work either). It also doesn't self cancel, which means the plastic pegs probably
fell out when some one was in there prior to me getting it.<BR>
