Hello all, quick question, my wipers are scratching my windscreen....
What could be the cause of this? I've put new wipers on but it still does it...[V]

Theres too much stress on the blade I'd say.

Try loosening the big nut that the wiper pivot attaches to.

Remove the arm (13mm nut IIRC), undo the Big nut slightly (19mm maybe 22mm!!), to reduce thee pressure on the wiper arm, them replace the wiper arm and test it!

mine's got one from the lazy previous owner

BlueCinq - 1995N - 899cc

my old cinq sx had graze marks from the wipers, so when i got the sei i put that 'rain away' stuff on, now i don't have to use the wipers very much so it reduceds the risk!
