v40 wiper squeak

wiper arm 

ive seen this mentioned before on the forum, people have tried various makes of wiper blades, but to what i read, mis aligned wiper arms are a contributing factor. paul

i am sure it has nothing to do with wiper blade i am fairly sure it is the plastic bit i have mentioned as i have a lot more play with the splinned stalk going through on passenger side than drivers side and some wear on inner part of plastic yet it seems this is not a common fault so i could prob get away with part from scrappy as local scrappy has a v40 atm

I had a similar issue when I purchased my '97 V40 - I replaced the wiper linkage with one from a much younger S40 from the local scrap yard. I think you'll just have to replace the whole linkage, but it's easy to do. Cheers Paul

Spary oil and or grease the bearings on the linkages. Mines nice and quiet, but i took off the plastic panel, also the panel was catching the lower part of the arm as someone had not reinstalled the cover correctly after putting new windscreen in.
