Cooper_GTI Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Do you mean they struggle to move over the windscreen when travelling at speed, or have they just stopped working altogether?If it's the former, that's pretty normal. over 100mph mine just don't work.If it's the latter, check fuses, if fuses are all good, check earth on the motor under the scuttle, if thats okay, you'll need a new motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
