    Just a few words of wisdom for today...

    I removed the wiper motor from the rear window of my TJ's hardtop because it was tired and kept stopping half-way through its stroke.
    I cleaned it, regreased it and checked the operation...It started working again; nice and smooth.
    I reinstalled it, assembling the window bracket, bushing, bolt and nut.

    The lesson for today: Do not over tighten the window bracket nut as the window will shatter and explode all over you, get in your hair and ears... Go nice and easy.

    ( My TJ is now out in the rain with a tarp over it, waiting for the new window to come in... )

    Good to know and learn from your experience. Guess there was no rubber or nylon washers or nyloc nuts.
