Hi, my wipers are giving me streaks of water after wiping.. Issit time to change or cleaning can be done?? Please advice. Thks!

 

How old your wipers? Do you clean them when you wash your car?

 

They do get dirty and needs to be cleaned regularly.

 

Mine aleardy used close to 3 years with frequent cleaning but had to change when it was not as effective as before . . streaks of water after swiping the windscreen.

Mine coming 2 yrs. I clean them with my sponge when I wash my car. Initially after cleaning better. But as the days goes by.. Si bei jalat with streaks all over. So I'm not sure whether it need changes or probably my cleaning are not good enough.?

My Toyota Fielder....damn odd size. Front wipers for driver side is 26" i think. Passenger side is so small - not sure what size. Bought some refills but couldn't fit. So end up throwing them away.

 

But I realised my rear windscreen wiper is a real problem. Juttering alot and I still couldn't find a way to remove the wiper....I'm wondering if it's designed to for the whole piece (wiper + arm) to be changed! Thats really stupid.....

 

Anyone knows?

I don't like it, despite of it's advantages.

 

It's noisy. I remember I had once or twice tried, but removed them within weeks.

 

Thats from my experience with silicon type wiper.

You can change just the rubber.

 

Go to Toyota parts dealer, they will have it.

 

Saw at Autoba_cs @ Bukit BT, got a few original Toyota rear wipers complete with arms.

I change the refill b4,but never clip properly result the metal frame scratch te windscreen,from then onwards I change the whole wiper

 

Some DIY efforts are required which convinced me after some time to change the whole wiper.

Hey friend,you need to get the entire blade with the plastic if you want to change for toyota's car.Last time went autobacs to buy just the rubber blade,they say toyota car "Estima,Camry,Altis" all use 9mm blade,they only sell 6mm and 8mm.So it can't fit into my plastic casing holder.End up go back to toyota to buy,kena carrot head by them.1 pair for 42 dollars.Suck thumb,just pay.Can't live with my spoilt wiper.

Is your windscreen surface smooth?

 

my coated with nano-glass coatings. Could last around 2 years?

yea, smooth. Normally I juz need to drive slightly faster to get the water moving up the windscreen. [laugh]

Ya I can buy the entire blade assembly as they are removable .... but thats for the front. What about the rear wiper? It seems that the whole arm needs to be dismantled...?
