Wiper missing screen area

Recommended Posts

Hi my passengers wiper blade misses and area of the screen, more or less right in the eye line, its as if the screen glass is not flat, i have spoken to a few other owners who say they have same problem, one vrs and one g60, just wondering if this lupo conversion is a fix for this, or generally what can i do, cheers

standard wiper arms are rubbish. if you got dollar buy lupo arms, they are supposed to be better

Yeah - Lupo or TT wipers mod is the best bet. Corrado wipers are legendarily bad! :)

Just bend the arm slightly over your knee, job done ;) Or you can replace the springs or grind some metal off the endstop to give them more movement, all achieve the same thing. Lupo / TT wiped arms are your best bet though, OEM performance is borderline dangerous.

Check that the wiper mechanism assembly in the scuttle area is firmly bolted down and that all the rivetted joints are secure. There is a rubber grommet behind one of the bolts near to the motor itself; if that perishes, the whole mechanism becomes loose and the wiper blades are not pushed firmly enough onto the screen; it can very easily be replaced.

 

When I sorted out my wipers, I removed the entire mechanism from the car by taking off the wipers and arms, spindle nuts and seals and the bolt near the motor. The whole thing then can be jiggled out. I replaced a loose rivetted joint with a nut and bolt and put it all back. There was absolutely no problem after that. I put on Lupo arms and blades for good measure.

 

Best wishes
