Auto wipes

[jhandy2]

Did a quick search but cant find anything.
My auto wipers dont work at all, im guessing all 172s have auto wipers?
Dont think its a fuse couldnt find a blown one(in the dark) any ideas?

You have to put the stalk to position 1, and the car has to be a non cup variant.

just to check, have you got the sensor at the top of the screen?

 

[jhandy2]

Didnt even think about checking for a sensor, it did have the window replaced before i brought the car might need to put a new sensor in.

 

[jhandy2]

Theres no sensor on the window. How hard are theese to fit?

 

[jinjur]

easy......as long as you have the right window with the bracket to fit it.

i also posted a thread of what to do with regards to the gel pad that is also required

If you stick the ignition on and then turn the lights on and off really quickly in succession does the car beep?

 

[jhandy2]

Yea beeps at me. I think when it had a window replaced before i brought it they didnt put a sensor in as theres nothing on window

Yep should be a sensor there!

edit: Looks like it may not support the sensor? Pretty sure mine has a gap in the black dots where the actual sensor is?

Maybe a windscreen fitted from wrong model!

Can we just check this isn't a rare iceberg cup first?

Have you got any full exterior and interior pics of the car?

I wouldn't bother fitting them. They're not very good.

Its the wrong screen bud.....i had the same on mine.

Not even botchable to be fair. You can stick a sensor on to bring the auto lights back and settle for that if you want. I had mind sticky foamed on for a year or too until some lovely boulder spanked my screen. Then i made sure the right one went in.

p.s. you wont even have the zany anti sun coating btw.

And they are good if the gel is fitted properly....which it usually isnt, even from the factory.

Mine are great.

 

[jhandy2]

Havent actually got a picture of the car yet.
I dont think its a cup though. Ill post some pictures up tomorrow.
I think i may just wait untill a new screen then make sure it gets the auto wipers and lights.

Didnt know it should have auto lights and sun protection? Lol.

 

[jhandy2]

forgot to mention should my intermittent wipers also not work without the sensor?

 

[jinjur]

Correct.

With no sensor.....you will have no intermittent wipe :/
