Mk6 bottom of front window has come away

Featured Replies

Can someone help please? 

The plastic bit under the front windscreen has come off the window. 

There's a channel it slots into but every time I push it back it falls down. 

Has anyone ever experienced this and is it an easy fix? 

Thanks in advance.

Best thing is probably remove the wiper arms, then remove the two end pieces and "plastic bit" completely, then clean the channel on the windscreen and the the mating ridge on the "plastic bit", spray with Silicone and re-assemble.

I take mine off on both the Fiesta and the Fusion annually - just to remove all the leaves that collect and block the heater inlet, so can now do it with my eyes closed.  That what comes of living next to some trees !

That's awesome mate. 

Thank you. 👍

Perhaps I should also do this, am getting this issue.
I am however a bit dubious about removing the wiper blades again, as last time this was done the arms were on so tight that the studs broke while trying to remove them. Had to buy a new wiper motor and linkage.😑

Yes, I can understand that - Haynes recommend using a small puller, and that is what I have used to get the arms off.

A good soaking in penetrating oil helps (PlusGas etc, not WD40), if they still don't move with leavers, try something like this.
