filthy windows

[geordieracer]

Does anyone else have this problem? When i use my wipers and washer jets, the wiper blades fire s**t loads of water onto the passenger side window leaving it streaky and dirty, also the top right hand corner of the windscreen gets the same treatment, along with the obviously unswept area in the bottom left of the windscreen. My car doesnt last a day at the moment without having filthy looking areas on the windows.

I know people are gonna say, "that's winter time for you", but i look at other peoples cars and they dont appear to have the problem to the same extent. Is this just one of the idiosyncrasies of the Clio?

Polish anc seal the glass, will make s**t slide off better.

Clean/ change your windscreen wipers.

Change your windscreen wash, there are specific washes designed for winter.

Easy as Linsay Dawn Mackenzie on heat...

stick a needle in the nozzle jet and you can change the direction that the water fire's out of

Mine does it this too, it doesn't really bother me that much though.

Yeah i realise that, thanks for the suggestion though. Its more a case of the way the wiper flings the muck onto the side of the car though. Guess its just winter though, lol

It annoys me as i hate having a dirty looking car and its impossible to keep it clean or even half clean at this time of year using it as my daily driver. Its my first winter owning a car, guess I am just annoyed at not being able to keep it looking nice. Roll on the spring!

As suggested - adjust the jets with a pin. Its really awkward btw
