Front Wiper Motor mounting Bolts stripped and broke!
 
SO my wipers are banging around I looked and the motor that bolts to the wiper assembly are sheared off and one is stripped the threads all out. Anyone know of a quick fix or any ideas?

Don't know any quick fixes. The usual choices are to drill it out, cut if off with a thin Dremel blade if possible, or use a bolt extractor. Then drill and tap the stripped out holes for a helicoil. All good fun.
