Ken:
I had this exact experience with the MGBGT that I bought. Turned out, one of
the wheel boxes was jammed. Behind each wiper arm is a half circle gear,
which is driven by the spiral wrapping on the drive cable. If the screws
holding the wheel box together get loose, the drive cable can jam. There are
other ways for the cable to jam, as well. I would look into that first.
