T25 Tourer Poor Wipe On Rear Of Window

[John Andrews]

Hi All

getting poor wipe from rear - bottom half of window wipe is fine - looks to me like the spring on window arm is not holding wiper firmly enough to the top of window - wiper rubber is ok, any ideas on a replacement code and cost? Also anything I can do to improve the water going to the window as it is abysmal

Thanks In Advance

John

PS - had car almost 3 months 2006 and no hiccips as such

Try lubricating the spring and the bit where the wiper arm flexes with wd40 and working it in. Obviously don't get the oil on the screen tho.
