Wipers Sticking On Low Speed

[lch05]

Hi all, my first post on this forum.

 

I have a mk2 galaxy 2001 model (2.3).

The problem I have is the wiper blades keep on getting stuck on the windscreen, at low speed/using the intermittent switch. At full speed, they glide against the windscreen with no problems.

 

Has anybody got any advice what could be wrong?

I was wondering if its a power problem.

 

Thanks for any help :)

The mechanism is probably partly seized up. Read FAQ 45, 60, and 68 all about it and what to do.

same symptoms - same age car - partly seized linkage - specificlly spindles --- although the mechanical advantage from motor to wipers must be huge since i still needed to pound spindles out .. could not move them by hand could only just tap them around with a hammer
