Shaky wipers

[carlocaraddict]

as we all know, it rained this morning. We have a 4-month old CR-V and whenever we use the wipers, shaky siya pagtumatagal. Is it because na bago lang siya and madalang gamitin?

as for our ae111 corolla, shaky din siya from time to time.

What seems to be the problem? help!


thanks in advance

AFAIK, all our four honda civics in the garage have this symptom, even our new CRV is also like this when we brought it home from the dealer last week when it was raining. The Toyotas in the garage do not have this symptom.

On the Civics, we brought it to back to the dealer and had the blades changed under warranty. Sure enough, the problem disappeared for awhile then it would eventually just come back again.

sir sakin din shakey pro napansin ko kpag first to third wipes na sya.. pero mamawala nman.. i dont know whats the reason behind..

[ian_rex]

carlo, shaky as in shh..aa..kk..yy? friction yan.

well, ang tendency kasi ng mga bagong blades dahil sobrang effective. that is in the case of your CRV. while for your corolla, change your blades to the tropical formula ng bosch.

oh, by the way, use a glass cleaner, kasi pag malinis ang mga salamin resistant siya sa mga beads. thus, it is easier to wipe. minimize din ang gamit ng wiper mo.

i tried applying "rain repellent" solution pero all through out ng trip namin from the house to Ortigas ganun pa rin.

[ian_rex]

ever tried cleanning your blades? or tried cleaning glass with a glass cleaner and rain repellent? you could try this: try to apply an armor all on the blades as to soften its texture. may garage ka ba or you leave your vehicles under the scorching sun? whenever possible sa parking pull up your wipers as to minimize the strain on the blades.

[carlocaraddict]

I always clean the wiper blades whenever I wash the car. CRV is inside the garage, often covered with car cover to prevent cats sleeping and fighting over the hood and roof while the ae111 corolla is outside our house also covered with car cover. Pero I will try applying armor all. thanks:D

Sometimes, when you apply Rain-X or similar solution, lumalala ang blade chatter.

What I do is just run them at full speed for an extended period, nawawala din ang chatter after.

Sa optra namin ganyan din nagshe-shake yung wipers pero pag tumagal sa pag gamit nung wiper ok na..

[jagxtrm]

ako hindi ko pa na-experience yng nagsha-shake (or tumatalon) na wiper...

kc every time ako maglinis ng sasakyan nililinis ko yng wiper blades by rubbing the foam (with soap) sa rubber blades. makikita mo agad sa foam kng marumi yng blade. pag ni-rub mo for 30 secs & maitim pa rin yng nasa foam, then it is time to change blades.

5 1/2 years old na yng hilander ko and once pa lng ako nagpalit ng blades. ganun lng technique ko.

[umzzzzz]

i have the same problem with our honda city, and yes kahit orig honda wiper blade ang ipalit, hindi mawawla yang nginig na yan. dun sa civic ko na may edad na (yung nakabangga ng city ng chick dun sa last thread ko ) at laging nasa labas e hindi naman nagkakaron ng shaky wipers...i tried sir otep's method of turning the wiper speed to max (doon sa city) but it didn't help...

[pepengtom]

how much kaya glass cleaning/polish? ganyan din sakin, hirap magdrive. may sabit ang kayod ng wiper ko.

[Satio]

Nangyayari talaga to.. pagsobrang linis ng wiper at ng windshield.. just like sir

Ian_Rex said..and un sa Rain X (from sir otep).. and clear view talaga sa

Rain_x.. un application sa Rain X ang ginagawa ko nilalagay ko muna to sa

empty bottled water (small amount lng).. then fill it with water.. pero

wag punuiin.. then shake nyo na..tapos lagay na sa washer.. tyaka na

punuin ng water..kapag direct application galing sa Rain X pumupunta to sa

ilalim pagtumagal..

:::yun sa Jumpy Wiper.. soap or shampoo cgro?? or pagumuulan dun kayo sa

likod ng sasakyan para pagnadumihan wala na Jumpy wiper..try nyo

effective..at inngat ah..

[jagxtrm]

eto tip ko para ma-test nyo kng marumi yng wiper blades nyo..

1. remove wiper blades
2. soak in water (sa faucet pwede na) for 5 seconds
3. ilagay yng natunaw na bareta (yng parang paste, sabong panlaba) sa rubber blade from top to bottom, both sides ng blade
4. after 10 to 15 seconds, i-wipe yng foam sa wiper blade back & forth.

kng nakita mo na maitim yng foam mo, cgurado madumi yan & may tendency na tumalon yng wiper.

ako nag-try dati ng rain-x or the same products, pero ang nangyayari talaga tumatalon ang wipers dahil parang nagiging 'sticky' yng windshied. ok lng yng mga rain-x sa mga windows na walang wiper (i.e. side windows, rear windows na walang rear wiper)

HTH

nice idea.. thanx sir!!

A lighter blade might help too... like my Trico Innovisions.

[psycho]

i read somewhere that this wiper chattering is caused by wax being used sa car. the advise was to use a different rag for the body and the windshield. minsan daw kasi natatransfer ang car wax to the windshield which may cause the wipers to chatter.

[Karding]

Bravoexo, I think your innovision doest shake as much not it’s lighter in weight. In fact, I believe that a heavier blade can contribute to more stability (weight pushing against the windshield). Weight has got nothing to do with it.

The innovision, according to popular mechanics:

"Innovision is the first aftermarket jointless (one-piece) wiper blade. It's engineered to follow the curves of today's car windshields, it's more resistant to ice and snow buildup, and its low-profile cross section reduces wind lift at higher speeds."

Look at Trico Innovision:




Another great brand, VALEO (bravoexo posted this a while back?!)

I don't think applying rainX would help if your windshield is dirty to begin with, it just traps dirt inside. Try having your windshield polished, then apply rainX. Try using a different wiper blade. Kahit alchohol pa linis mo sa blades ok na.

pareng kards, yan din ang gamit ng mga MBs ngayon (OEM)..sablay din yan dito sa Pinas..daming nagrereklamo sa casa..hehehe gusto ko rin sana magpalit niyan..(kung titignan mo kasi "hapit" sya sa windshield) parang effective. pero, wala din..siguro, sobrang init lang talaga dito sa atin. (kahit mga casa boys, aminadong di kaya nung wiper blades vs sa weather natin dito). every yr na lang nagpapalit ako..
