Wiper problem
-
Hi All,
need some advise, having some problem with my wipers, got this "scripting/friction" sound when the wiper is on. it seem to be happenin at the right hand edge of the windscreen before the wiper sweep back.
Have highlighted to C&C during 1K servicing, & went back again later, but problem still not solved.
C&C cleaned up the windscreen both time, replaced the wiper rubber during my second visit, was advise to pour some windscreen washer into the wiper water resorvor... they claimed to be dusts/wax accumlated on windscreen...
BUT all do not seem to work. Any bros or sis encounter before, any suggestion. -
did you put stuff like RainX onto your windscreen? Heard that product can have an effect on your wipers.

had this problem last time...solved by changing the 2 wipers...not just the rubber.Originally posted by surpize:Hi All,

I had this problem too when my car and my wipers were new.
But after a while (about 1 to 2 weeks), it would be gone.
Now my wipers are perfectly ok. -
i used to have this problem.. i change the wipers but the problem persists..
until got once .. i buay tahan.. i actually broke my windscreen purposely and went to change it through insurance... pls note NTUC requires to co-share the cost for windscreen.. but some like my previous insurance AXA.. they bear everything without affecting my NCD..
i heard dun use any cleaning agents for your windscreen... so i have since stopped letting those petrol stations attendants to clean my windscreen..

i used to have this problem. but i change my wipers to some twister silicon wipers.. 2front +1back = $100.
now okay already -
I have the same problems, sometimes the vipers get stucked at the right edge of the windscreen! I think your wipers need some reinstallation or adjustments.Originally posted by surpize:Hi All,

It could be due to the wiper arm. It may be slightly bend out of proportion which you can't see with naked eyes. First of all you may try considering change the arms. Look carefully at the rubber of the wiper, is there gap allowance on either end of it? the rubber should be in place n not be able to move with your hand. Try to change it at CC. show them it makes noise. if they say no need change only juz service, try it infront of them after the service to ensure there is no sound.

By the way, I had changed my left wiper blade during my 5k servicing at TCM.
They changed for me FOC and with no question asked.
Now, looks like it's about time to change my right wiper blade during my coming 10k servicing.
Why C&C has a different service standard from TCM? Some say C&C service sucks. -
err... actualli did not use any solution such as RainX nor use any Wash & Wax car shampoo... actualli still veri stock windscreen & wiper, yet this happen so that bother me quite abit...
does the rubber need some time to ""run in", afterwhich sound be gone...
C&C wise, me went to Thomson SC... e staff been quite helpful & friendly...
Tried to do a through wash of the windscreen just now... If still got sound, may got to drop by again... -
I had this irritating problem too and dread everytime it rain. I change my wipers almost monthly and before I go long trip to m'sia. A friend recommended me to Tan Chong MOtors servicing centre as they have a package of treatment for windscreen and change the wipers to silicon ones for @$60.
It worked. No more ruddering and irritating noise and lines. NOw i change only once a year.
wipers are standard part even if your car is not nissan. -
Is it some irritating sound when wipe for too long ?
- Heard from my dad is the dirt on the windscreen that is accumulated causing friction and also sometimes without dirt also got this sound, Use newspaper to clean your windscreens as it wipes off oils or dirts from the windscreen, use little bit water to wipe the screen then later use the newspaper to clean the windscreen. Use a wet cloth to clean the rubber wipes also as dirt is normally accumulated there when the car is dirty. That what my dad tell me after his car serving at Borneo Motors.
Newspaper remove oil well from screen, after every ride when you think it is suitable to clean ur screen just do clean it.
Observing the petrol attendent using the solvent to clean the windscreen, they dont really do a good job though, leaving behind some water stains on the screen when your car is *bling bling* !
Some advice before cleaning your windscreen:
-> Wet the windscreen a little moist
-> Use newspaper, dont use a newspaper with stapler on it and please check the newspaper for sands , grinds and stuf . REMOVE the sands and grinds as it will scratch ur screen.
-> Clean your wipers with a little water
-> Do not use so much strength on clean the dirt frm ur wipers as it will cause a tear on it, or spoil the wiper.
Hope this 2 cents of advise will help you guys on ur windscreen
All i can that this is a cheap method to clean ur windscreen and to prevent those irritating *woop woop* sounds on ur screen upon wiping on wet days.
Enjoy
DRIVE SAFE, i also wanna drive but 3 more years..lol -
