Wipers

Postby SandyHenderson » Mon Jun 07, 2021 4:28 pm

Right I replaced what looks like an OEM wiper blade (metal frame one). I've tried several cheap wipers and each of them are terrible on this van... Never had an issue with them before on my cars. The latest one I've got just sticks and then bounces on the windscreen. Other ones stick and the plastic breaks.

What are you guys using for wipers? Trying to avoid paying £30 a wiper here lol

Just using the original Ford ones here mate. I tried the retro-fit flat blade ones, but they just wouldn't wipe properly. The originals work perfectly for me now personally. Maybe give the screen a good clean with some isopropanol? Sounds like you could have a contamination issue on the glass :?
