Hi Allan,
Nope, the blade is fairly new - the rubber insert is soft and flexible.
Maybe I'll replace it anyway.
Talked to Rusty who told be the wiper transmission is what operates the
in/out movement of the blade arm and it's *expensive* - like over $500! He
suggested I try to find a used one.
Kaleb! I used some "Lubricant" (that’s what it said on the can ;-^ ) No
silicone as far as I could tell.
Do you have any good used ones? After talking with Rusty it sounds like my
WW is on the way out. It's been dry recently so that may help extend the
lifespan.
Let me know Kaleb --
Thx

Are the blades old? Hard, old blades can skip and chatter even on wet
glass.

Hi Gang,
My wife told me the WW was acting funny (she always talks in highly
technical terms) so I checked it out tonight – because we’re having a snow
storm tomorrow. Great timing, huh?
Anyway, it sounds like the wiper blade is dry and dragging across the
glass. It wasn’t as I sprayed it with cleaner fluid. I lubricated the
mechanism as much as I could without disassembling anything. It’s a bit
better. But I worry.
Anyone BTDT?
