Hi all
I have a mercedes C220 with the single wiper arm. Often the rubber wiper blade seems to stick to the windscreen. It is almost like there is glue on the windscreen. I have cleaned the glass, first with soap and water and when that didn't help I used paint thinners and I have also tried methylated spirits.
I have also replaced the wiper blade. The strange thing is it does not always behave this way. Sometimes the wiper behaves quite normally for about 20 minutes then decides to stick to the windscreen again. The wiper motor is under tremendous strain as it drags the wiper blade slowly across the glass. The wiper arm itself is working correctly as it moves across the screen it also moves up and down. What could it be? Did mercedes put some kind of a film on the windscreen to make their weird single wiper slide across the glass? Could a car valet service have cleaned my car with something sticky?
What could I use to clean my screen?
