Wiper adjustment

Post by Davis9 » 17th September 2017 - 5:36pm

Hi

I have a '66 Squareback and I have really shitty slack wipers. The motor works fine and the blades are new; my problem is with the pressure of the blade on the screen so it can work properly. My question/ questions are; can I adjust the wipers to give a more firm wipe and make a difference? Do I need to replace anything? Is there anyway I can upgrade them?Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

You may need new wiper arms as the spring becomes slack over the years.
You could try bending the arm slightly to seat the blade on the glass more, but if the spring is worn it won't help much.
