Vroomtattat 2nd Gear August 14, 2010 Share August 14, 2010 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. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianbeng Clutched August 14, 2010 Share August 14, 2010 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?

5936 1st Gear August 14, 2010 Share August 14, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear August 14, 2010 Share August 14, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzomatrix 2nd Gear August 15, 2010 Share August 15, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
