Nabeh!! Our Pijot wiper very expensive la, no $$ change. smile_dead.gif
one say don't work and one say work. Then how? Work or no work?


Put me on the "Nope, didn't work" category. Eventually, you have got to change the wiper, expensive or not.

we can only express our experience of the product, for me it worked on the S80, Mitsubishi Storm, Waja and my friends Mercedes...I actually put on two coatings allowing for two hours between coats.I actually bought my last bottle at Car4 about three years ago or so. I have had no need to use on my Pijot yet...lol

My wiper spring is not enough strong enough to push the wiper to the windscreen, any idea on this issue?

PIAA ... expensive ... find it hard to justify a wiper that's expensive. Cheapo wiper still wipe windscreen and let you see you the road.


Agree with you totally. A set of PIAA for my car is about RM300+ how to justify the purchase. Buy cheapo and change very year or when required. $$will last me awhile. The cheapo one last longer than my oe.
Have wheels will ride, beats walking.

If you can get replacement then okay, but some make are just different, therefore have to use originals...... smile_blackeye.gif

Yeah sometimes it's the arm themselves that deform with the heat. A new arm can be the only solution.

Not pure metal but alloy.

The Volvo X40 series have this design flaw experienced by many owners, over time (we're talking about years) repeated exposure to sun will cause the arm to deform a bit, not much but enough to scrape the bonnet. Only a new arm or bending the arm again will cure it. It's still hard like metal as I can't bend it back to shape using my hands.

Recently replaced the arm on wife's ride with new arm - problem solved. Now I have the problem of the rear wiper not wiping properly, me think same issue but not really bothered to get a new arm.

I guess it's possible the same thing can happen with other makes as manufacturers try to use lighter materials

I am surprise that we cannot even bend back but the weather can bend them...... smile_shock.gif
