Window Wiper

[scoobyit]

Drivers side window wiper making a really load click as it hits the top of its movement

They are new wiper blades - but this should not cause that noise, it sounds like a really load crack

Any ideas of what it is?

My car is a 2005 WRX.

Are these from Halfords by any chance?

I recently bought a set from for my 2002 WRX from Halfrauds, which had the fin or spoiler (or however you want to describe it) built into the driver’s wiper. This for some reason seemed to knock against the glass towards the top of the movement.

Ended up replacing it with one from Tesco with no fin. That solved the problem although the Tesco ones are on their last legs after only 3 months.

Yup, exact same as me.

Take them back, protest, jump up and down and tell them you want a refund and you are not the only one this has happened to.

Yeah I know I should do, but for £10 I can't be ars8d

[fraserx]

Me too! Only for me, the crack occurs at the start of the upstroke. I've put up with it for two or three months though, so demanding a refund would probably be a hellova nuisance.

Replace them with AeroBlades guys. Bit pricey but worth every penny as they don't smear or judder.

exactly what i was gonna say, i sell them in work roughly 15 quid plus vat for the set n well worth the money
