Grateful to know how you can get the wipers to stop their horrific noise when working on the screen banging backwards and forwards. We have had two L322s and both have been the same. Even the Defenders wipers are quieter.
 
Do they bang on the window trim at the top of the travel, bottom of the travel or both??

Or is it the rubber blade skipping or folding over when the wiper changes direction??
 
Saint V8 - thanks for quick response -pretty certain its the folding over when changing direction - spoke to the main dealer when p/e the first for the second L322 and didn't really want to know. Both were about four/five years old when purchased.
 
First change wipers. Rubber looses its flexibility when parked at the bottom for ages in one position.

Check the wiper arms are on the correct way round, esp if matey from autoglass changed a windscreen.

Treat windcreen with autoglym glass polish then rainex and you'll notice a difference in wet visibility to
 
Is it really just old wipers that is causing the almost intolerable banging on changing direction that we have put up with for 5 years now!
 
Aero beat me to it...

Old blades will do that - they stiffen up and when they change direction, instead of folding, they remain solid and if you can imagine this will lift the wiper arm up and bang down the other way...
 
Well well many thanks I wouldn't have believed it - new ones are being ordered - thanks again. I feel a bit of a sad git for not realising!

If people don't ask question - we all never learn...!!;)
 
is it just me?? or these new Aero style wipers they don't seem to last as long? also during winter the top lip fills up with water freezes and they don't work propperly??

still they look better and that's all we really care about haha
 
Yes Hippo he (me) is saying that. Actually didn't change them on a P38 before that to add to the disgrace.
 
Didn't think there was anything wrong with them. Got new ones delivered today from Brookwells £15. The 6 years we have had the P38 and L322s nothing has gone wrong apart from replacing some tyres, oh and apart from a burst brake pipe the day after a recall into Stratstones coincidence or what. Mind there has been a bit of depreciation!
 
I had same prob changed blades still there changed blades again this time buying Bosch problem solved all for 16 quid cheapest fix on RR I have had for a while:)
 
Is it two years gone already - blimey must think about changing the wipers again soon!!.
