Carlover76 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 My windscreen wiper will jerk or shudder when it sweeps across the windscreen even though it is wet or with water. Anyone have any solution to this problem or resolve the jerking problem, do let me know ASAP, thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 there is 2 reasons to that..... [ol] [*]wiper rubber is damaged.....so changed the wiper [*]you applied something on your ws......what you can do is try to clean away what you have on the ws.....normally, i use tar remover on the ws to remove whatever is not right[/ol] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlover76 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Author Share August 30, 2003 I have tried using the thinner to wipe the windscreen to clean away the wax but only last for a while, what is a tar remover and where can I get that? Can cleaning the windscreen by using newspaper help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 you can try the polyglaze tar remover.......and normally, it requires a few coats to get it away. but still, i think its impt to know if is the ws or wiper thats giving problem........

Carlover76 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Author Share August 30, 2003 I have just change my wiper so should not be the wiper problem right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 did it start before or after changing? if its after it could be becoz the wiper is not installed properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlover76 Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Author Share August 30, 2003 After changing, it seems ok but after sometime, the problem comes back again! So you are saying using the tar remover to clean the windscreen? How many times do I have to apply on the windscreen and do I have to apply on the wiper? Check with you also when you wash car, do you wash the windscreen with the car shampoo or just plain water? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phochem Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 it sounds like wax caught on the wiper to me. did you use the same cloth to wipe your car body(assume waxed) and windscreen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie August 31, 2003 Share August 31, 2003 i use the tar remover once a week.....and apply only on WS....not wiper. and i use shampoo on the ws.....btw, what kind of wiper wash do you use? water, rainx? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlover76 Neutral Newbie August 31, 2003 Author Share August 31, 2003 The windscreen solution is for cleaning glass type but do I have to clean the wiper regularly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie August 31, 2003 Share August 31, 2003 what i meant is the water solution that you use when you use your wiper spray, i do suspect that to be the culprit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
