Noisy Wipers

The drivers side wiper scrapes across the screen all the time and its driving me bloody mental.

I have tried all sorts of stuff but it still does it. Its worse the faster you go.

Hi maybe its time to change your wipers..... ? Have you tried cleaning your windscreen with some "Road film" cleaner?

Yes - mine are awful .......... but yesterday I decided to clean the screen and apply several coats of Rain X ........... will let you know if things improve. However the rain x is so good = you dont need wipers at all

Had the same problem on my D3, dealer changed then as they were "the wrong type" fitted at manufacturer. Now as good as gold & don't scrape at all.

Got mine replaced at almost 4 months with abount 4k miles on clock. Wife's D3 was replaced after only 2 months & 1500 miles. Both warranty and "known issue" to tech guy in service department (rather than service receptionists or manger).

I had problems with the wipers on my RRS. Search this forum for the old posts. The rubber had split away and they were only a few months old.

Now on the D3 the wipers are still bad. Very noisy and drive me mad. I tried everything and the only solution was to use RainX and not switch on the wipers at all. When it went in for the enhancements a few weeks ago, I complained about the wipers and they fitted new blades. Wow-what a different. They were silent, even on a dry screen.
However, now after only three weeks (and only about 1 hours use!) they are back to the same as before. The drivers wiper makes hell of a noise again. Ahhhhh! Matt

I tried looking for a part number, but as the arms don't lift off the screen much, it makes it very difficult.....without climbing up onto the bonnet. Matt

What you need to do is to start the wipers and when they get half way switch the car off and then you can get to the wiper properly that what i had to do with the merc to change the wipers on that they forgot to do them when it went in for a service RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I replaced my wiper blades after a few weeks of ownership [ at my cost ] only cost about £4 each so couldn't be arsed to bother the dealer. However after a short holiday period of silent wipes - they soon became noisy again - Only last weekend I was about to committ death by Bongo - the noise was deafening

The only solution was to clean screen and apply 3gallon of rain x = thats cured it - also car is so smooth now , the 0 - 60 has fallen to 3secs
