Floppy wipers

<< < (2/3) > >>

jimthelandyman:
take the top bit of the dash off it only takes a couple of minutes. Your intermittant problem will probably be inside the wiper motor if you take the cover off you will see a gear inside if you take the gear out and look on the back you will find a lug that is used to press a switch in the wiper motor assembly, when the gear has turned 1 full circle it will press the switch and it will stop, in your case it has either worn away or the gear shaft is not secured properly and thisallows the lug to ride over the switch without pressing it properly.

JumboBeef:
Thanks!

Well, I spent four hours doing this ten minute job yesterday..............and the result is still the same!  (I turned everything through 180 degrees).

Oh well, I'll look again in another three years  :lol:

V8MoneyPit:
Have you looked at the arms themselves? The pivot where you lift them off the screen, right next to the spline, wears. This translates into a lot of movement at the blade which drags behind when nearly dry and flys off the screen when wet.

JumboBeef:
Yes, I looked at them (drove small nails into the gaps and they are rock solid).  I'll just have to live with the flop!
