SINGLE WIPER PROBLEM
« on: 09 July 2005, 20:03 »
We recently got a 91 golf with a single wiper conversion already carried out. Not my cup of tea, but not to worry doesn't look ridiculous..

Anyhow, it sweeps across the screen fine, but on the return sweep it judders across the drivers view point.

The wiper blade looked a bit scrawny so i nipped down halfords and picked up a Bosch one with a spoiler.
Much beefier , but still it bloody well jutters across my line of vision!!!!

Any one else had this problem?
Got a remedy?

The actual wiper arm looks a bit flimsy ??  Maybe i should pinch one off a Merc !!!!

Bought the car two weeks ago. so wiper like this already.

will get some glass polish, that may help.

knobby you're right - single wiper is a bit 'chav', single head light too.... lol :wink:

Have you tried gently twisting the arm so as to make sure the blade is at 90 degrees to the screen , as I have found this is often all you need to do to cure juddering :huh: :smiley:
