Golf V R32 :: OEM Front Windshield Wiper Don't Squeak Properly


Feb 18, 2008

Found that OEM new wipers were not completely squeegee-ing the windshield. i.e. getting small patches of wet/unwiped areas. Seems like it's skimming some areas instead of actually wiping.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Wiper Rear Windshield Sprayer Would Work Intermittently

Weird issue on my MK4 GTI. So it started out just as the rear windshield sprayer would work intermittently. Then the same happened to the front one. Then sometimes the rear windshield wiper would just come on by itself when hitting bumps on the highway. Now sometimes the front windshield wipers won't work, the rear doesn't work at all, and neither sprayers work.

So, where's best to start? I figured maybe the toggle switch is worn out. I haven't looked to see how hard it is to get out/test. I assume there's some linkage or wires I can get to once I remove the trim under the steering wheel to do a simple continuity test and see if the switch is working. Or would relays cause this? I wouldn't think that many relays could fail this quickly while running at normal voltages...

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Intermittent Windshield Wiper Stall Halfway Up / Move Really Slowly

At times my windshield wipers stall halfway up my windshield or move really slowly. Other times absolutely fine, I already checked both battery terminals and niether were the issue. What's the best way to get to the wiper motor to check the connections. Or does it sound like a ground strap issue elsewhere on the car.

Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger Side Wiper Blade Hitting Side Of Windshield Randomly

My passanger side blade has been hitting the side of my windshield randomly since the car was new. Wasn't able to replicate the issue at the dealer so I was pulling the blade off last night to investigate and broke the small square retaining clip (Red arrow). Do the clip assembly (Blue arrow) can be purchased separately or if I have to buy a whole new wiper.

Golf IV R32 :: Squeak Noise Coming From Front Of Car?

I have a squeaky noise coming from the front of my R. Here is a recording from inside my garage: [URL] .....

A few observations:

- I would say it is coming from the belt on the left side, but I can't narrow it down
- It doesn't sound like the hamster wheel sounds I've seen in the archives, but I haven't ruled it out
- It doesn't change when the clutch is depressed
- It tends to go away after a 30+ minute drive

Prius (Gen 2) :: Squeaky Windshield Wiper Arm

I finally had enough of the annoying squeak-squeak-squeak of my wiper blades every time I used them. Time for a fix!

First, I narrowed down the problem by making sure it was not the rubber wiper blade rubbing against the windshield. You can rule this out by simply lifting the wiper arms up to the locked position and turning them on. If they still squeak it’s not the rubber rubbing against the glass.

By carefully listening I narrowed down the squeak to be coming from under the large black plastic cover on the passenger side wiper. From what I have read other Gen II Prius owners have had this same problem. I discovered that you CANNOT remove that cover without removing the wiper arm assembly. But it’s not too hard.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX350 - Squeak Coming From Passenger Side Wiper Blades

I just took in my 2007 RX350 to the Lexus dealer for a "once over" as I recently purchased it, as well as a squeak that was coming from the passenger side wiper blades.

After several replacements (including the high end Rainx and Michelin from Home Depot) the squeak would not go away.

Lexus indicated that the "aftermarket" blades were causing the problem and I needed Lexus blades.

I pushed back as they were about $120 for both, but, much to my surprise no squeak.

Not sure what the OEM blades are and I guess I could have researched it more, but, was at my witts end with the squeak.

Anyway, that fixed the problem.

Tiguan :: Windshield Wiper Has Clattering And Skipping

So it rained today. I go to turn on my wipers, and they sound like this: [URL].......................

Clattering and skipping, only for the driver side. So I go to look at the wipers, and they look fine. Put it into service mode, and driver side is not flush to windshield. Took off the windshield blade and saw that the piece that attaches the blade to the arm is crooked. And then there's a slight bend in the arm itself. Pictures show it not very obvious, but is noticeable in person. And there is a bend on both, but the driver side is much more bent than the passenger, and its also at a different angle, hence the crooked attaching piece.

Touareg :: Car Won't Operate Windshield Wiper And Radio

I took delivery of a new 2004 Touareg V8 with nav system radio, yesterday. On the way home, in the rain, the front windshield wipers stopped working as well as sound from the radio (controls, menus, etc... were still illuminated) This is not very comforting. Windshield wipers are quite necessary in the rain. The general technology behind windshield wipers and radios would seem to be mature to the point that reliability need not be questioned. As a new owner having just been through an hour of instruction on operating this piece of machinery, I felt somewhat inadequate that I could not operate the windshield wipers and radio. I said to myself, it can't be this hard! My wife and I became frustrated at each other to the point of my speculation on who would get the vehicle in the divorce.

When I finally made my way into my driveway, I decided to check the wiper fuse because it was most necessary, rain being forecast for the next several days.

I pulled the 30A fuse for the wipers and found it to be OK. I then replaced it. Behold, both the wipers and radio began to work. (The manual does not say anything about the radio being connected to the wiper fuse) Case closed, I thought. 5 minutes later they went out again. I pulled the fuse, replaced it and eureka, they began to work again. I drove the vehicle today for about 30 minutes at which time they ceased to function once more.

Passat (B7) :: Windshield Wiper Fluid Not Shooting Out

My latest issue is not having wiper fluid shoot out of the dispenser units to the wipers. I think it may be frozen, but the weather has only gotten warmer since it worked last.

What's odd is that, even if frozen, I would think one side might work and the other would not, but neither works. I can hear the pump trying to squirt it out, but nothing.

I would rather fix it myself if I could. I have already taken the car to the dealership four times in the last month (steering rack 2X, catalytic converter, lower vent not working)....

I did top it off with fluid last night, but there was/is already plenty in there.
