Hi

Wiper works fine but then on a far too regular basis it will start making one hell of a clunk as it moves back to the horizontal starting position. It really makes a very loud clunk on every sweep back as if it is throwing itself back in to position. Next time it will work fine for a while and then start doing it again.

Doesnt really seem dependent on the level of rain coming down so puzzled as to where I start?

Thanks and regards to all.

Rob

Is the blade catching the frame, only ask as I put a blade on the wrong way and had this problem..
You can lift the cover off the arm and check inside, might need a bit of a clean or grease.. easy job…
