what was wrong with your wiper stalk mate? mine stopped working. i cant turn the front wipers off and my front and rear screen washers aint working.?
 
I've been having the same problem for a few months now, Any advise would be much appreciated.
The wipers have a mind of there own! They wont always turn off, which has worn one of the ball joints in the wiper mechanism and now that keeps popping out aswell.

Can the stalks be replaced without removing the steering wheel?
