#1: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 2:10 pm ---- Right I had it last year and it has come back.
Right in my eye line where the hook is on the blade, about 2 inchs up from the base of the screen in a curve it misses the screen. I have tried the trick of putting a cable tie on the spring to pull it tighter, worked for a bit but not now. It has become dangerous to drive in the rain as the screen is not clearing right where that is.
Been told the arm has gone.
I have now got a new arm on there but it is still happening, the screen has been cleaned with white viniger and newspaper. The blade have been swapped over as well
It is still happening and it getting to the point that is dangerous to drive in the rain.
Any help would be great
Thanks

#10: Re: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 3:45 am ---- Got a brand new arm Chris, plus new blades and the screen has been cleaned.
I can try and get a picture but will be a bit later.
#11: Re: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 3:47 am ---- Ok Mikey.
I think I have a similar thing happening on my Fabia.
There is a tiny chip in the windscreen, over the space of a month or so it wears away at the wiper blade, so I have a streak going through the screen where the blade isn't making as much contact as the rest.

#13: Re: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 3:50 am ---- Think I may got back to normal blades and see what happens
What blades do you have on the car Dan?
#14: Re: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 3:52 am ---- No chip in the screen Chris well not where this is happening, its just really strange and dangerous when its raining hard.
#15: Re: Windscreen Problem?????? Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 4:19 am ---- Have you changed the windscreen at all? as when i used to work at autoglass we had a batch of windscreens(ford focus i think) that was at fault
And in places the screens would not clear at first we told customers change the wipers then the arms etc but it was down to the screens having a sligh defect in them that could not be picked up by the eye

Nope windscreen has not be replaced in my ownership only had a stone chip repaired on the passenger side not even near the wiper.
So it could be down the windscreen then, interesting I wonder how would I get that checked out any ideas.
