Wiper blades

[mgbond]

Does anyone with the Velco flat blades have any issues with the blades working. Mine wont work unless I put them on the fast position. The will work in the other positions but I have to help them move. It seems like they are gripping the screen to much or is the motor on way out?

Bondy, have you tried RainX-ing the windscreen?

I find that the blades are wrecking my screen. The new Vello ones from Speeding are still scratching my screen like the others did. Rainx for me too

Something you may want to try is a product called "Aquapel" -- used it to replace Rain-X as it last much longer.. Can be found on ebay -- typically lasts about 4 months before it starts to "go off"

Cheers but it doesn't seem to be the problem, I have done rain X but still the blades wont move on any setting but fast while on the window.

I lifted them off the window and put my finger against the motor head it it didn't take much to stop the blades.

I think its the motor, Does anyone know where its from?
