How about collecting some of the experiences we get as daily barchetta drivers? Sorry if this kind of thread already exists, I couldn't find one with a quick search.
My first tip, after learning the hard way on friday:
Tip #1: Once a year or something like that: Remove the metal plate in front of the windscreen. Is't only 6 torx screws (T30?/40?), a 13mm nut to remove the wiperarms, and two 21mm nuts. Then check if the wipers move without restriction. My left wiper was 100% stuck, which made the linkage to the wiper motor pop off at 2 different places - lots of swearing, not so much visibility. :bang: If they don't move freely, use some WD40 or similar first, and some thicker oil (engine oil, ect) in the end before putting if back together. This will take max 30 min, and will ensure you that your wipers don't f%#& with you on a rainy day, like mine did..
