smearing windscreen wtf?

Post by whiteDevil_170 »

Ok so I replaced both factory wiper blades with a set of bosch A980S . Now even after doing that my passenger side is still smearing bad. Drivers side is fine but passenger side isnt. Any ideas what to do now? Its bloody annoying :mad:

Try claying the glass or cleaning it with IPA if you have some.

Only things I can think of is to polish the windscreen and keep rubbing the wiper blades with IPA until no more crap will come off. I was amazed how much time it took until the cloth stayed clean after rubbing my wiper blades!

Thank you, will be trying this - hoping it might remove the squeak I get as the wipers move back into place on the lower part of the screen - can see some residue there. (May try clay bar as well).

Will probably stick to the pale ale for drinking, though.
