Wipers N washers

Post by Redlotus »

Hi

Getting a bit fed up with the wiper lifting at speed. Is it curable? I think the arm spring may be weak so whats it off/ are new ones available? Also the pin is well worn - can you get this seperatly or does it come with the arm/blade.

Washers a bit of an damp squid. Hole look to have been over bored and i have the square pyramid ones. Again anyone know what there off and is there something similar with two jets per side? OR have i just got a weak pump.

Wiper doesn't lift until 120+ mph AFAICR :shock:

So there must be something different about yours if you're being a good boy and they're lifting a lot earlier :wink:

That would be good for me. Mine starts to lift at legal limit so i am assuming the arm and spring are no longer upto the job.
