Does this Happen to you too??

BMW! · 08-12-2008, 04:30 PM

When it's raining and you have the wiper on and sometime when the wiper blade (the brush) is turned on, you would hear the blade getting too dry against the glass and making some loud scraping noises. It doesn't happen all the time, only happens when it's raining hard (I think).

madman · 08-12-2008, 04:56 PM

Nope. Doesn't happen to me

Arustik1 · 08-12-2008, 04:58 PM

Nah, bring it to the dealer and have them change the wipers...

Tondtar · 08-12-2008, 05:01 PM

What is "rain"? ....I live in LA

alex2112 · 08-12-2008, 05:34 PM

It doesn't happen to me either. Like others said, bring it into the dealer and they will install new wiper blades free.

Dunno. I heard this rumor that in some places, a lot of water comes out of the sky! Here in San Diego, I only ever see water come from the ground.

How old is your car/windshield wipers?

simp0man · 08-12-2008, 07:24 PM

and they dont look damaged. But the wiper would stick and get sticked on the glass when its moving (in the rain)

BMW! · 08-12-2008, 08:47 PM

To put it terms you can understand...
It's like when you're driving near downtown at night and a bum pisses on your windshield.

dmdguy · 08-13-2008, 12:01 AM

my car is a tad older than yours and i never get that......the blades run silky smooth

darkphantom · 08-13-2008, 12:46 AM

yeah It happens to me, by I only have 4500 miles on it and barely drive in the rain....so that maybe it, they don't get used too often...

rg87 · 08-13-2008, 03:20 AM

+1

exo-ak-dk · 08-13-2008, 12:43 PM

change your blades

Mech_Man · 08-13-2008, 01:38 PM

+1 about changing the wiper blades. If they fail, the arm might rub against the glass and that could scratch the wind$hield.

gIzzE · 08-13-2008, 02:32 PM

Have you tried cleaning them?? Or adjusting the sensitivity??

I'm not sure if this thread is a wind up??

StoneCold · 08-13-2008, 04:14 PM

Oh man, I'm having a heat waves in my area right now........I will keep an eyes on it when this rain - poor season comes.
