random stuff that doesn't work

so stuff doesn't work on my new rx7 s5

the first thing is the windshield wipers don't go down after I turn them off

then the rear wiper doesn't move

and the radio antenna doesn't go up, but you can hear the motor working, so i think the antenna itself is broken, which means i have to find one

and the drivers exterior door handle is coming off

i think thats about it outside of the shock thats leaky but i got some tokico hp's in the mail so

probably a bad wiper switch

Check the rear strut connections for the back hatch... if they are okay, it is probably a bad wiper switch.

busted teflon mast insert in the antenna. Replace the mast it is only a $20 or $30 part (note the most common reason for this is either never cleaning the power antenna mast or cleaning it with the sperm of the devil- WD-40).

and the drivers exterior door handle is coming off
so tighten it up... two 10mm nuts hold it on.
