Rough Windscreen Wipers

[Ultramega]

is there no way to maintain screen wipers and die die must change? cos exterior condition looks fine.

 

Can maintain, but that must start from day 1 and not after 2-3 years when they already chui.

bros I had a rather shuddery rear windscreen wiper. aft reading this forum i went n bought a botle of rain X and applied it last nite. Today it rained....and true enuf I saw the raindrops sliding right off even upwards!

 

BUT now my front wipers n rear wipers hv this shuddering motion when they swing in the first swing. these r new (1 month old) silicon frameless wipers cost me 50 bux!! prev b4 applying rain x it was smooth now aft it really grates my nerves!! any advice pls??? tks

 

 

1) throw away the rain x

2) mama lemon your windscreen

3) mix abt 10ml of mama lemon to 1L of windscreen washer water

Don't throw away, I use it only on both my passenger seat and my window, as well as both my side mirror and rear windscreen, clear vision even in rain especially in heavy rain . I never use it on the front windscreen.

Get superfine steel wool from Daiso ($2), use autoglym glass polish and rub until dry. All etched stains and wiper judder will be a thing of the past.

Had bad stains and serious wiper judder (even brand new ones) and tried all kinds of cleaners, acid, newspaper, polishers, etc till I tried above.

Don't use rainX.

Wah liew, want to drive car but this kind of basic items oso want to skim. How much does a pair of wipers cost only? Those Bosch, NWB, Denso costs less than $30 for a set depending on the length only.

 

To the naked eye looks fine, maybe you should use a microscope to view them.

Thanks for this bro! I have the same problem as the other bro who posted earlier...shuddering wipers :angry:

 

Will try out the good 'ol mama lemon technique...Thanks again!!

[Furrynadz]

tried something over past few days

i pour 10ml to 1L concentration of the window glass cleaner directly into wiper tank

works well too

Some people use RainX liao, wiper will shudder

 

Think you better remove/strip off that layer of RainX

Don't underestimate the importance of your wipers. In the case of heavy downpour, your safety is at stake and so do other road users. Without your wipers, you actually can't see what is ahead of you.

 

Exterior condition looks fine does not mean the wipers are alright. A pair of NWB wipers is reasonably priced at the NTUC mart in Esso petrol kiosks. They cost cheaper than each time you go and pump your petrol for a full tank.

 

Cheers!

the silicon wipers are good enough to resolve ur issue.

no need to buy rain x to apply

[Chiangauto]

but the wipers quite new leh... i think 2-3 yrs only.

 

sometimes sun heating might spoilt them.i would suggest to change it or let mechanic to check on it.
