Starting yesterday, my windshield wipers are acting strange. If the windshield is not super wet, they won't sweep as far as they used to, meaning they stop a few inches short at the top and bottom of their stroke. But if the windshield is totally wet, they'll actually go too far and hit the top and/or the bottom of the windshield surrounds, especially when set on the fastest setting.

I took them apart last night hoping to find a loose nut or something easy, but it just appears that there is play in the motor itself, I think. Time for a new windshield wiper motor? Where's a good place to get a good new one? One of the online OEM dealers?
