Scraping wipers
Do we have some knowledge on scraping wipers? Had to do a couple of longer trips in the rain and they are terrible. They're scraping when going up, and I see a pattern indicating they come off a bit when going up. Maybe the springs in the wiper arms need more tension?

Re: Scraping wipers
Or just new blades needed?
Scraping tends to happen when the rubber hardens over time.

Re: Scraping wipers
yes you need to have rubber blades fitted, its just the metal scraping on the window.
