The impressive part is not only did Mrs. O. successfully complete the repair, she did it while watching over an inquisitive child through most of it without losing her cool once, while also doing her front office duties. Plus, she was working on lunch when you came back around. That's some BOSS action right there. Eric, you gotta give her credit for nailing it under these circumstances.

Thank you for this video! My kids climbed on the back of our Odyssey and broke the rear window wiper loose. It was hanging straight down instead of where it should normally sit. Thought I was going to have to pull the entire back panel of the van and tighten it from the inside somehow. Saw how you removed the wiper with your video, and it was as simple as popping off the back plastic and tightening the nut to get the wiper tightened down and working again.
