Gymfocused Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi guys, I've noticed that the drivers side wiper lifts off the screen about half way up the sweep. It's leaving a good sized unswept patch in my wife's line of vision. Is this just a simple blade replacement or, something else please?

Bobr Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Could be the spring in the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easy thing to try first is spray a bit of WD40 or equivalent in the wiper arm spring and work it up down between 10 and 20 times. Fingers crossed it's just got a bit stiff and caused it to lift slightly 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way 😂 why was it loose? Have you had a windscreen or any work carried out on your car recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
