wierd wiper issues

[gticupra123]

right well my rear wiper if i put it on it doesnt actually wipe the glass? then it doesn't stop until it wants to. secondly the front wipers well the left one tries to wipe the whole screen and catches the other one and gets caught. the right hand one is fine unless your going faster than 50mph then it some how manages to come round the the drivers side window?

anyone know why its getting abit annoying now lol

thanks

hmm, sounds odd about the rear one lol, but as for the front, have you tried re-alligning the arms? or even tightening the 10mm nuts on em???

Wipers are loose on the front. and as for the rear are you sure your turning it off right as that rear wiper switch is an acquired knack. If you are turning it off right then get to the relay

Yep it is. Because when I first got mine when I was using the rear when pressing the switch I always knocked the front wipers on aswell.

lol likewise, my rear doesn't touch the glass at the moment I expect the arms a bit stiff and not pushing down on the window, just haven't looked at it yet!

Mine doesnt touch one little bit of the rear window

Dont matter as Im dewipering in the next few weeks anyway.

Because old style blades with the metal behind them are stiff and dont flex enough, if you bend the blade just so it will clear it

Or buy a flat blade

cheers guys im dewipering the rear anyway so it dont matter about that as for the front i will try tightening them up and see what happens thanks

Im de-wipering in a few weeks so it doesnt matter.

My rear wiper does clean the rear window, except for one little bit towards the top of the movement.

My rear one did that, the spring had stiffened up with corrosion and wasnt pushing the arm against the glass, spray a bit of WD on it and push it in and out a few times to loosen it up. Then once youve done that do what I did and get rid of the whole damned thing!! Dewipering.....its the only way to go.....

Dont worry. De-wipering and lots of Rain-X is happening in the next couple of weeks once I get a few things done.

the reason wipers wont turn off is dodgy conection on wiper stalk, buy another stalk for 10pound or so and fit urself

I think the reason it was done was there was a period where it was being used in threads.
