    Hi all,

    I've a 2005 VW Touareg which had a replacemtn windscreen fitted last week. Since then my wipers have been incredibly noisy. Could the noise be a result of the windscreen not being fitted properly or perhaps even the wrong windscreen being fitted?

    I don't want to go back to the windscreen fitting people if the two are unrelated but it seems like more than just co-incidence.

    Would appreciate your thoughts.

    Ben

    Have you decent screenwash in the bottle?

    Hi Henry,

    Yes I do, can't recall the brand right now but I always use a good screen wash when I top up and plenty of it.

    The problem has only occurred since the new windscreen was installed. Could it be that the new windscreen has a slightly different profile to the old windscreen and the blades are skipping across it as a result?

    Perhaps changing the blades is the best place to start?
