That reminds me of the problem I had with the driver's side wiper on my mk 1 Escort: it lifted off the screen at anything above about 40 mph. First of all I fitted a set of metallised plastic fins to the arms which worked all right. Then I took the fins off and just swapped the wiper arms over: The spring on the driver's side was weak, but the geometry meant that the passenger side needed less force, so they both worked all right then. -- Max Demian |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Can't say I get streaking. But then I donąt live in a badly polluted major city. WHO the **** asked you whether you get streaking or where you live, senile Ozzie pest? -- Website (from 2007) dedicated to the 86-year-old senile Australian cretin's pathological trolling: https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/r...d-faq.2973853/ |
