Windscreen wiper jerks
Hello 
Both my (brand new) windscreen wipers jerk. They dont move smooth at all. Very ugly, it gives a very bad image of the car
a video of mine:
Is it normal?
How can I correct it?
THANKS!!

Re: Windscreen wiper jerks
Just my due centisimi....
1. Make sure the windshield is CLEAN. The glass is clean when the water sheets off the glass and does not bead. If you can find Bon-Ami powder in Italy, this works well for cleaning glass.

2. Replace the rubber squeegee if you haven't done this already.
3. Sometimes the spring tension in the wiper arm gets weak. New wiper arms is the only remedy for weak tension.

I've seen a lot worse, yours look pretty smooth.European wipers must be fantastic.
