The wiper on the center panel window in front of the helm ceased to operate so Heritage Yachts set out to replace it. The motor shaft for the wiper is mounted through the tempered glass and during the install, the glass shattered. Now we have a broken wiper and a broken window. Heritage got a new glass panel from Mainship and hired a glass installation expert to replace the broken window. The EXPERT installed the pane backwards and the holes for the wiper motor and retaining screws were in reverse. The wiper blade was now positioned to wipe the deck instead of the pane of glass. Fast forward to May 3, 2007 (a month after the initial wiper break) and we finally have the glass mounted and the wiper motor and blade in the right position. We will let the molding and gasket goo cure for a couple of days and then hit it with the hose to look for leaks.
