justinaverill Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi all, A very annoying topic here, I don't know wether anyone else had this issue but my front wipers are juddering when they wipe? I've tried cleaning them but no joy. The only time they seem okay is when the front screen is soaked, but if it's drizzle out side they judder all the time. More annoying then anything haha If anyone has any tips on how to sort this out that would be great :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackgl Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I had this once after parking under a tree that covered my car in tree sap, just give it a good clean with some auto gym glue and tar remover.

MarksST Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Not experienced it myself but I know others have. Clean the blades( you have already) give the screen a good clean and polish. It may ease over time if the blades are new. Seal the windows, I used gtechniq G1 on all the glass and you don't need to use the wipers most of the time as the water just falls off, kit is about £15, pain in backside to apply but worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'd recommend giving the windscreen a good polish with Autoglym glass polish, brilliant stuff. 2 coats to be sure, wipers should glide over it then. But you might not need to use the wipers cos rain just slides off if you're going fast enough :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunytee1600 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Also try rain repellant on obviously the glass and clean / rub wipers too. Worked for me. Power is nothing without control . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinaverill Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hmmm I've cleaned the screen with that auto glym stuff so just need it to rain now :/ and they couldn't sort it? Can the wipers be adjusted any way? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Sounds like they're trying to fob you off. I'd try and get a video of the wipers juddering and go to a different Ford dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinaverill Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I hate taking my car in to the dealers because as said they try and fob you off, the thing is they don't realise I work at a dealer so I'm there nightmare customer haha ;) if mine don't stop juddering then I'll be heading up to my local dealer :) Sent from my iPhone 6 using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 lol if you work at a dealer why not get them to look at it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 lol if you work at a dealer why not get them to look at it in the first place? I was just thinking that, can't imagine being fobbed off by colleagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
