Skipping Wiper

[shadow]

how to solve this problem? it happens everytime mahina na yun ulan, I mean from rainin hard tapos pahina na doon nag sskip :mad:, nakakbwisit na eh, I just replaced my wiper blades, thought that it could solve the problem pero ganun pa rin, does using those glass cleaner would help? than you

looks like time to have your glass cleaned, since you've already replaced your wiper blades. chances are that much dirt and grime has accumulated on your windshield.

You probably bought the silicon type rubber which causes wiper skips.

Imo, use ordinary rubber not the expensive silicon types. And wash those rubbers from time to time, to avaoid dust and grime build ups. Plus it helps prolong your rubbers life.

Based on previous answers related to your question, I think the best solution is for you to buy some "Strip-it" glass cleaner. Meron daw sa Concorde, look for it in a toothpaste like package.

If your windshield has accumulated too much dirt, you might need to repeat the Strip It process for upto 3-4 times with a buffer.

just a Q, won't strip it scratch your windshield, especially if used with a buffer?

It shouldnt cause scratches unless there is something stuck in the pad.

I've seen some silicon rubbers with more glossy and harder blades compared to ordinary ones.

I experienced the same thing with my new NWBs.

What i did was scrub the windshield with RM Rubbing Compound. As in thoroughly. After that, i rinsed the windshield with a detergent solution. AYUS! Wala nang skipping! :D

[benchph1]

any rubbing compound kaya pwede? ma-try nga

[pajerokid]

make sure you wash the windshield after you scrub and rub. Ive done this thrice already, but ngayon ko lang naalis yng skip. prolly because i only rinsed the wshield with h20.

nga pala, i failed to include in the previous post that i used a polisher to finish the rubbing...
