RedKE30 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 I'm sure my fellow KE30 owners have noticed the slow slow wiper speeds on these cars. I have yet to drive in the rain in my 30, but I don't really look forward to it if there is more than a slight drizzle. My question: Is there anything that can be done about the slow speeds? Just a thought :laff:. Cheers Sian Quote
corolla_nut Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 It's probably the wiper motor worn. I'm sure my wipers used to go alot faster. Until they broke in almost torrential rain in Coffs. Then I replaced them with another set. Never been the same since. Or maybe I'm just imagining it. Quote

Thank you sir, I'll look around for another one on Saturday. Quote

WinKE55 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 It's not junk either. It's the best thing a guy could have. Hahaha. The baby gravy maker. Quote
JiP Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 lOl, my 1 year old nephew would agree. He is always playing with himself. As for the wiper speeds, you do have two right?? Slow and fast?? Quote
Xany Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah, but john.....i have always tried to avoid driving in torrential and heavy rain (hell even just rain) for this exact reason. I'm wondering if there's a wiper motor out there that is a bit faster than the stock item that would fit....hrmmm Quote
JiP Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 :lolcry: If thats the case am I the only one that don't have issues with the stock speed?? My issues would be more the windows fogging up quicker than the stock demister can defog them. Quote
corolla_nut Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I have HUGE issues with killer fog in my car. I never had any problems with my wiper speeds until the driver's side one stopped mid-wipe in very heavy rain last year. Now they're REALLY slow, and don't make it all the way down to rest. Thinking about taking the motor to an auto electrician... "It's not junk either. It's the best thing a guy could have. Hahaha. The baby gravy maker" I didn't say it in a bad way (shifty eyes) lol Quote
JiP Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Does that mean you want to see Wink's baby gravy maker?? Quote
corolla_nut Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 No offense but no! :y: I don't think my boyfriend would be very happy about that :lolcry: :wink: Anyhoo redke30, sorry about this hjacking, let us know when you fix the prob! Quote

corolla_nut Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah, I'd hazard a guess at the later model ones as they've had (broad generalisation) less use so less chance at f@$king up. Maybe if you put a multimeter or something on them that might help? I dunno Quote
JiP Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 No offense but no! :y: I don't think my boyfriend would be very happy about that :lolcry: :wink: Thats cool. I was just asking on Winks behalf. Seems he wants to get his gear off :) Quote
