torino Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi there, had a bit of a search, but couldn't come up with the answer, but apologies if its been covered before. Seem to have a small problem with the wipers and wondered if anyone else has experienced this - The wipers seem to have movement in them, and they seem to hit the deck as they return down, or run past the windscreen. Hard to explain, but you can move the wipers a few inches by hand, they seem to have a bit of slack somewhere?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Just reposition the wipers and retighten the nuts at the base of the wiper arms as they may have worked loose. Failing that you may have a worn mechanism Alex. Edited May 10, 2014 by ZMANALEX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 As Alex said. Lift up the plastic cover and tighten the nut . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torino Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sorry, completely missed your reply's. Sounds like worn mechanism then, as moving one, moves the other, ie they are connected 'together' tightly, but is slack between the arms and motor. Wondered if it was a common problem, but doesn't sound like it is. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have preowned wiper arm mechanisms in stock with no wear or movement. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsniss350z Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 So Torino, how did you get on? Did you find out what the problem was? If so have you managed to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torino Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Yeah, the problem was a worn joint on one of the arms on the mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
