Title: Normal for wipers??
Post by: 9thwonder on 15 March 2012, 13:54

Right my wipers work on all settings and the washers work as well, the problem is they just seem really slow.

Is this normal or should they be fairly quick?

Thanks

Lift the wipers off the screen, and see if they speed up, if they do, fit some new quality wiper blades, and use a decent window cleaner to decontaminate the screen.

I was thinking about it last nigit and i had a go of them again and really its a 23 yr old car i shouldnt expect them to be like a newer car. They work ok so ill just give them a good clean up and go from there.

Thanks for the replys.
