RE: [T3] wiper shaft leak


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well, for a simple, effective, cheap, long term, but totally
incorrect 'fix'.  Find a couple of plastic film can lids (or
similar objects, remove the wiper arm, poke small hole in 
lid, slide over shaft, and re-install wiper arm.  Seals
against the shaft, and is wide enough that water accumulating
upon it's surface will drip harmlessly away from the
offending leaky spot.  A bit of Vaseline shmushed under the
lid against the shaft/seal will help keep the stray drops
and water flow from sneaking past the lid and away from
you tootsies.

I found the pesky leak.  I thought for sure it would be the fresh air
box's, but it is dripping right down the wiper shaft.  Not at the body
seal, but inside the hollow tube that holds the rotating shaft.  Is
there a seal or o-ring in there?  Any ideas on how to seal this?
