Awful knocking

#1 Post by Sico40 »

So during a great ride out this evening, got caught in a heavy downpour.

The wipers worked perfectly....then started to make an awful knock, from the motor area.(possibly below), when finishing the wipe, on both settings.
All looks ok, motor secure etc....any ideas please?

Is the offside fresh air ducting fouling the wiper mechanism? I've had it happen to me. A slight adjustment of the position of the ducting should sort it.
