window wipers dont move

[ross-taylor]

ive managed to get the wipers working again the linkage was abit smashed up but managed to bodge it back together i dont know how long it will last but they seem great so far so fingers crossed.

Good stuff. Hope they hold out , but usually if they come off once they'll pop off again very quickly.

yeah looking at the state of them i dont think they will last ages but if they go again i will just get a new linkage.

Hi. I have wiper problem as well.

I dont know whether its the linkage, motor or electric issue but after turning my wiper on, instead of moving upwards to wipe the screen, they sort of try to go down about 1.5-2cm where they jam.

Any ideas? Or is it too soon to judge before i remove the plastic vents to get to it?

Hmmmm, that's an odd one. The fact that they're moving suggests that they're still attached to the motor but best to check anyway, the grills only take a minute to pop off.

Sounds more like the motor's gone.

They may have slipped on the splines, try taking both the wiper arms off then run the motor to see if your getting a full sweep.
