Haha, I changed twice FOC, both within the first week.  Change first time, no jerk, but noisy.  Change second time, all okay liao.  They did not ask question.  They said goodwill since customer complain problem.  (Think either it is really goodwill or the problem is so common that they don't ask anymore.)

when i call them, they say got to buy the wipers at $29. and the most funny thing is , they suspect i bought a different wiper from wat is in their stock. It is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard.. i mean, wipers is wipers, wat diff does it make ? if they wanna make money, just say so.. no need to make such a lame excuse or reason.

anyway i have found out from my friends, is might be due to me using the normal window cleaner to clean my windscreen, and that is why the problem of jerkiness happens. Will try to clean up using water this afternoon, and see how..

I use to have this problem too, is the wind screen dont have any wax so will like this.

Use the armour wash and wax can already, dont listen to TC. And dont waste $$ on wiper.

Mine use until now no problem , stock one. Last year 15 July until today so far so good.

Some experts and sites say wiper will jerky if we constantly use car window cleaner,n water spa(will solve this problem,dun ask me how).

they advise us occasionally clean with little bit of mama lemon plus water n wipe dry will aviod wiper become jerky too.

I did complain to TC and they just simply change a new pair for me FOC during my servicing(my wiper less than 6mth old nia)

Dunno lei.. at first mine jerk very badly one lei.. then one fine day use this rain shield.. sold by some carpark mobile groomer.. then the jerking stopped after the first rain.. But if I wash my windscreen with the windscreen washer.. and I didn't put the rain shield on.. the jerk comes back again... So now if I use windscreen washer I must use the rain shield thing..

wierd thing is, when i go servicing and tcm changed the wiper, no washing of my ride or whatsoever, the problem solved. After a while, now come back again. Could also be stock wiper material not good, so under heat will spoil. And reason why rain shield helps, acts as lubricant?  :confused1:

hi guys,

wiper spoils easily due to the climate in sg. jerky is mainly caused by wax or polish on windscreen. using 3M sand paper for windscreen can oni clear away sands or dirts that cant see by eyes. it still depends on where u park ur car. under the sun or shade, location? i m working at tuas. so dusty and sometime i can see spots on my windscreen that dunno caused by wat?? :confused1:

My advice
jux spray water on the windscreen then start ur wiper. it can help to preserved the life span of the wiper. and try to wash ur windscreen everyday using the wiper too.
