Title: Torture
Post by: Nickbat on 10 August 2010, 18:33:08
You know the old Chinese dripping tap torture? Well, the modern-day version is for me, a juddering windscreen wiper. I swear if I had to do a long journey I'd go completely off my trolley in 50 miles. Just drives me absolutely nuts. >:( >:(

Grrrr...

Looks like a visit to the dealer is imminent. Though I may first try wiping the blade with a vinegar-soaked rag to see if that helps.  ;)

BTW, the other torture is a rattling door lock pillar, but at least you can turn the radio up to drown it out. :y

Nik I use RAIN KLEER on mine and it has stopped the judder from the blades

Despite my access to trade cleaning products i use clear windowleen inside & out as glass cleaner. If this does'nt work then you need new blades!

I've yet to put it on the Omega, but in the past I've used rainx which is fantastic. Especially when you are on the motorways, overall visibility improved a lot.

Another tip is to look at the Bosch flat blades. These made a heck of a difference going from the traditional to them when I changed a few months back. Thus far they seem to judder  a lot less than the standard blades.  :y

Mine goes quiet if I lock my doors - worth a try? ;)
