Final note; I got an automated email that the order had been shipped on the 27th and just got the delivery today (30th). No replies to the emails I sent, but I do have the downpipe. So now I get to perform the simple install on a 18 year old car. How hard could THAT be?!

Follow up 4/8/2024: I narrowed it down to the wiper linkage and replaced it. Due to the age of the vehicle OEM was not an option. I decided to order PROFESSIONAL PARTS SWEDEN from RockAuto.
