Squeaky wipers

No3ntry · 24 Apr 2007 at 22:01

My windscreen wipers squeak a bit when in use and whilst they are btter than my last car's wipers they dont quite perfectly clear the windscreen.

In the past I have had little success when choosing new wipers (which i am assuming is what is needed here) any opinions o this ?

Thanks
James

I usually put a bit of washing up liquid on a cloth and run it along the edge of the blade, seems to do the trick.

What brand of wiper? Cheap ones usually do this. I use Valeo which work well

Have you tried oiling them?

All i have tried so far is putting a small amount of vinegar on a kitchen towel and wiping the blades.

It improved things for a couple of days but wasnt perfect.
It is still slightly better now that it was but not spot on.
Passengers side is bosch, drivers side i can only find a very small marking on the spoiler that says "swf".
