How do you clean your windscreen?

[dhalv]

Hi Guys,

I am having an issue with my auto wipers on my C Coupe, the damn things keep wiping whether dry or wet and only after about 5 minutes do they stop!! It is really infuriating to say the least.

I have tried cleaning the windscreen with glass cleaner, neat washer fluid, car shampoo and randomly rubbed a potato on the screen (as recommended by someone - Why oh Why did I even try that!!!!) all to no avail, the wipers keep wiping.

Looking for any tips before I book into the dealership to take a look.

Happy Monday

Sounds like the auto wiper needs a reset.....not sure that cleaning the screen will help alter the behaviour of the sensor...

if your current wipers are even vaguely smearing, replace them.

rain sensors don't work well if wipers are beyond their best.

I had heard a potato or apple smeared on the windscreen acted a bit like that RainX stuff and was an "emergency" solution in days of old when the wipers stopped working altogether during a downpour.
Check there is nothing in front of ie glass side of the sensor first, and/or fiddle with the sensitivity setting.
