Technical Qubo rear wiper

[msw109]

I have noticed the rear wiper arm doesn't seem to have enough tension on it to push the blade flat onto the glass. This means the blade "misses" at the extreme edges of the blade. Any suggestions to remedy this? Maybe the spring is tired...where would I get a replacement? Anyone else experience this....

I'm sure I've already posted about this misbehaviour - when I couldn't source a new blade from Halfrauds. Ebay is stuffed with them but I had ordered a £22 Pewgot one by then

When I took the rear panel off the tailgate to cure a lot of loose bits rattling inside, I noted the motor is mounted on legs which seem to be riveted into the tailgate metalwork. I did think about re-siting it using bolts with a nut on either side of the lugs to alter the spacing of the motor so that it could be adjusted to take the actuator arm closer to the window thus exerting more pressure to make the tip actually touch the screen - mine does on the out wipe but misses on the return. Poor design and naughty of the makers to pass it when it's not doing the desired/designed job..

Has anyone found the angle sensor yet for the Hill Hold? That should work 100% of the time, not just over 10° hills.
Also it should work when the stupid Stop/Start engages itself (when you are not expecting it) as the second you let go of the brake, your car has an interface with the front of the one behind! Fuel saving technology my a*se..

P.S. mine has a new arm and it makes not the slightest difference to the hit and miss - it's poor design!

There seems a lack of force pushing the blade into the rear window...could a stronger spring cure this???

Yep - the outer edge rests in the fresh air although mine does do a good job of cleaning the screen. The design here seems like an afterthought as the meet point of the overlap leaves a vertical ridge above your mirror and the water then runs down so you're forever flick wiping that away until it dries. Weirdest spineless blades..

Will have a look on auto data on mon bud pretty sure it senses through the air bag system

Yep..........spot on, exactly the same here.
Also the washer jets seem a bit to low, is there any way to adjust them?
