    I've just fitted a storm single wiper. i got it to get rid of the skooshers on the bonnet and make the car look smoother but when I turn the wiper on it seems like the spindle holding the wiper on is rocking and also the wiper is hitting the window rubber on the drivers side,

     

    anyone had the same problems or know how to fix them?

     

    you'll have to run a smaller blade.. centre wiper hole aint in the centre of screen, its off centred slightly... you'll find on the passenger side its fine...

    jack the car up & spin the wheel.. then hold the wheel with both hands & rock it side to side to see if theres any play.. check the wishbones etc & bushes.. ive had a bearing collapse made funny noises & when we took it apart the bearing fell to peices...

     

    get it sorted asap.. im thinking the bearings died...

    Great news :) Glad it's all finally sorted. I know how relieved I was to finally have the bonnet opening again too!

     

    tell em abt it.. march has been a very expensive month.. things I'd planned for been delayed with stupied things going wrong which cost silly money...

     

    my advise, corrados look smart but a right pain in the arse :roll:

    Thanks all, after using a crow bar I got the bonnet open :D

     

    no panels damged.. grills broke though... that rod section was really really stiff to push... its opens one side & the cables still attached to the other side.. Ive got all the replacements bits on the way..

     

    going to to be fun trying to fit the new one!!!

    ok guys, before it started raining this evening I had another go.. I cant seem to move the spring behind the headlight...

     

    its obvious the drivers side cable is totally broken as I cant pop the passenger side with the cable but drivers side tge cables snapped off & not attached.. tried a screwdriver as metioned in another thread & cant seem to get it to move.. I must be doing something wrong.. the rain got worth so I gaveup for tonite... seen this pic.. is the hightlighted area in the pic what Im meant to be twisting??

    Must be the season for it, mine just went the other week too. Took me a couple of hours t get the damn thing open & the new cable fitted, but allis well now. The advice on this post helped my situation best:

    Good luck. :)

    When you bought a new cable did you get the metal clip that holds the outer cable rigid to the inside of the car while you pull the inner one? (if that makes sense lol) As this has broke on mine and when i went to vw to buy one i was told they were discontinued, i didnt want to pay 25 quid for a new cable to find that the clip didnt come with it :confused4:

     

    DANG60, Yeah, the metal clip comes with the cable. I didn't actually need it so should have the new one knocking around? Drop me a PM & I'll see if I can find it for ya.

    Bally. If you can take your grill out with the bonnet shut then you can get to the release spring behind the headlight. I used a strong, long piece of metal to hook the spring. You'll probably need to stick a light underneath the car to shine upwards. Drop me a PM if you want some more specific advice on this & I'll see if I can get you some pics.

     

    Evening.. thats the problem, the grills fixed down by couple of screws at the top (reiger grill)... we did manage to lift the bottom two lugs of the grill & lift & bend it up so you can get behind it just abt.. gona need another grill its runied now..:cry:

     

    thnaks for the tip & reply, we'll try that on the wkend as I dont get time during the wk.. fingers crossed everythings ok under the bonnets ok til then!! hopefully I'll have a new cable etc by the wkend to replace the old one with...

     

    feel free to PM me some extra tips.. thanks again all....
