K11 Wipers squeaking - Fix

[jelly]

Common problem it seems.

The squeak is often not the wipers themselves (even though it sounds like it is) the cause is the mechanism.

Fix:
Remove the plastic scuttle under the window with bonnet raised.
Locate and grease all moving parts of the wiper mechanism.
WD40 will last about a year or so. Grease will last a LOT longer.

Disconnect battery during greasing to avoid nasty accidents. (Y)

Hmm I just attacked mine with a can on WD40 at the very bottom of the wipers.

This sounds like a much better idea as they are starting to squeak again after about 4 months.

Thanks for this post Andrew, mine are driving me mad! Will do as you advise at the weekend.
