Re: Howto: Fix Problomatic Wipers
few thanks ranski good to know that i wont be wasting my time. Got to fit my new old alloys this weekend as well......ranski wrote:Yes I did, about 4 months afterwards
So I tried the grease cleanup a second time, but used cotton ear buds to get into the edges - 9 months on and after the wettest summer in decades all is well in the wiper department

Re: Howto: Fix Problomatic Wipers
I got them literally the attempt after posting that message, once I could see how they joined, the other came of first time (with very generous amounts of WD40).
I did manage to loose two plastic clip screws and smash 3 of the clips on the userside of the plastic cover, such brittle plastic. Then again it wsnt exactly warm.... :s
