The P5 was dirty and I was lazy so I put it through a car wash instead of hand washing it. It was the kind of car wash where the car sits still and the washer arms go back and forth over the car, then one drives out slowly through an enormous blower. Anyway, the next day I noticed something shiny near the windshield and it turned out to be the retaining bolt for the driver's side wiper arm. The cap that used to cover it was missing, presumably water blasted or air blown off by the car wash. The one on the other arm was still there and firmly seated. Luckily the little devil had not traveled far and was found loose under the left hood hinge. Stuffed it back in and good as new.
Anybody else lost one of those in a car wash?
