UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

My Dad picked up his new '02 sport Polo on Friday and has gone up to the Lakes today.

It was raining on the motorway and he says the drivers wiper is banging off the windscreen pillar on every wipe (the wipers did seem to judder as they moved up when I went in it)

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Wiper, wiper arm, motor?

Sure I remember reading something about it on here ages (years!!) ago but cant find anything now!

Thanks in advance.

sounds like linkage is sized and wiper arms req adjusting

Thouht it might be by the juddery motion on the wipe. How would that make it knock on the pillar though?

Just a bit of spray grease on the mechnism you reckon then?

How do you get to the motor?

take the wiper arms off then the cover you will need to strip the linkage clean it then regrease it
