So couple weeks back noticed a water stain on the port side roof speaker grill in the salon. "Oh-Chit" what now??? Pulled the grill off ever so carefully to find the PO must have know and had a whad of paper towels in there. I knew right then that this is not good. Looked up and found the wiper assembly all rusted. Knowing this would be a mess I just called AM equipment and ordered a new assembly $500 bucks. Took 3 weeks to get but came in and actually very easy to install just a bit of a bitch to get the old one out as they did seal it in pretty good. After further investigation looks like it just broke the seal around the shafts that go through the hull. I guess over time from sealant breakdown and the flexing when you are using the assembly it just slowly started to leak and well you know what happens there. I probably could have saved this one but I felt better just installing a new one. I did save the motor just in case... Anyway I would recommend to everyone to check yours and I will just reseal my starboard side from the outside just to be safe as preventative maint for know.
