Default No winshield wipers

It's raining today and I wanted to take a drive, but I my winsheild wipers don't work, it's not the fuse or the switch because I can use the washer fluid. I'm going to assume it's the motor unless I'm missing something. Any ideas before I buy a new one?

Rain-X. You won't need em.

Honestly...half the time I drive in the rain, I don't bother turning the wipers on at all. I can see more clearly without them w/ the Rain-X. Only at very slow speeds do I find the wipers necessary...above 25, the air is enough to remove the water from the windscreen.

That's a good idea, I actually have a bottle laying around somewhere too.

Windshield. It keeps the wind off you.

That's what I get for hanging out with a South African bloke...I also use the word bonnet from time to time.

I have NOT yet gotten to the point of spelling "tyre" strangely. lol.

I realized I spelled it wrong after I posted it but didn't want to take the time to change it

I usually apply the spray on type Rain-X every time i wash the car or every week. I have found that its almost a necesity to use on the rear hatch so i can see out of it at night. My girlfriend bought the orange bottled Rain-X washer fluid, it applys a coat of Rain-X when ever you spray the windsheild i think. I didnt know it did this, but i noticed the beading effect at speed in her car.
