30-6 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 When my wipers have not been used for a couple of days they are stuck to the screen. Then when needed for a shower or a screen clean, they are being wrenched off. There is proper screen solution in the bottle. Any idea what I could use on the rubber blades ? Washing up liquid ?

B725 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I have had the same issue using premixed solution so I diluted it by 50% and never had the problem again but it still cleans the windscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 New blades fitted in to the existing frames would be the cheapest quickest fix. Is the windscreen spotless before you leave the car parked up? Vinegar is a good screen cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Hello, if you mean that first initial switch on when the blade rubber stuck to the screen with the heat and dirt and it's a few seconds before the washer activates , living in a town my screen gets dirty more than most, I buy ready mix or bottle you dilute screen wash, try a small spray bottle and fill with screen wash, leave in motor, then spray screen before you start engine , that will help sticky blades, then as you leave use car screen washers, Edited June 25, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
