bossjohnc Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Talked about this a while ago in a different thread.Are all wipers noisy?Is there another wiper I can fit to make the noise go away?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidDub Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Just fitted wipers to mine for same reason went to vw seem to be ok but apparantly all wpers are noisey try vw ones they seem to do the job and not bad at £23.00 for the set fronts and rear :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I only got my car from VW Monday week ago, so I guess they're VW wipers.If you take a look at the wiper, it only seems to sweep one way ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUPO. Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 My car is nearly a year old now,the rear wiper has always made a noise on the glass if it is not totally wet,and i also noticed that it only seems to clean on the return stroke ( i think ??? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baj Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 same as above ^the first wipe kinda judders across the screen and just sort of chops the water up a bit, the return wipe does a better job however and without the annoying noise ???

bossjohnc Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 That's right - on the first sweep the wiper doesn't sweep like wipers should... it goes accross the glass with a 90 degree angle blade to glass, and makes lots of noise.The return sweep is at about 30 degrees, so is generally quiet.I might just get another wiper and experiment a little.

M1 Lupo Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Dont take this the wrong way lads, get a Skoda Fabia rear wiper arm / blade. It fits the Lupo, cleans the rear window and sounds a lot more quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
