Civic06+ Windscreen Wipers

[JaCe]

I've had to replace mine a couple of times (with Honda ones!) and I'm wondering how many people here have actually had the scraping issue with them. It seems to happen so often even though I clean them and soon...

Interestingly enough, it only scrapes when its actualy wet and raining. In the dry it is fine and has no noise =S

haven't had any issues
had the car for almost half a year now

i actually realy like the wipers on the civic.. its smooth and fast for me.. looks cool with design as well hehe

same problems as you Jace!

[JaCe]

At least I'm not the only one But what have you done about it Datuk?

For me I've replaced with genuine Honda blades cos non-Honda ones don't fit on the FD >< But it's quite costly. When it poured last Friday, I got out in my umbrella, and wiped the blades with tissue and got rid of some dirt which seemed to fix it up for a little while but then the problem came back. Maybe misalignment?

ive had the same problem aswell

all you need to do is rotate the blades..lol as in put the left on the right and right on the left...

i asked them to replace them for me at the next service cos the noise was pissing me off but when i picked it up he said he just swapped them.

he said that the motion of the blades create that scrapping...normally it happens when u dont use them for la long time and they get abit dry.

havent had the issue since. been like 4 months now.

give it a go! the guy said it would cost me 70 for genuine honda blades...

my fd is may 06 build...soo close to yours.

Thanks for that. I will try it asap (if I remember ><).. I have a tendency to forget until it rains only to hear that horrible scraping noise which leaves me wanting to drive.

+Rep 4 u.

hm mayb somethin with the earlier fd's???

[Datuk]

Jace just remember to clean the blades everytime you wash your car with soapy water!

[Tigger]

By scraping do you mean the blade jumping as it sweeps?
Mine does that and I find it bloody annoying!!! GRRRAARARARRAAARARAR >

i have the same problem, i call it wiper farts

i had the same problem on my old car, replaced them with kmart teflon blades and it fixed the problem completely.

jace: what's stopping us from using regular wiper blades on our fd's?
