I will make another post to introduce myself but I’ve been fortunate enough to purchase a very special 914 that you may know from their forum as “Snoopy” this is my first question for the 914.
I’m shipping a car next week been (delivered to the dock and on the way) I noticed that the wipers are moving very slowly. When the car arrives I’ll probably need to drive it and there’s a good possibility that it’s raining. Any thoughts on the culprit and a list of tools needed would be much appreciated! Pete |

The penetrating oil helps. I've done that with mine many many years ago and it helped a lot.
Mine also get slow when they are not used for a while. I found the best thing for it is to run them. This spring I got caught in a multi-day storm, and I had to drive a couple hundred miles in it in the 914. Between rain-x and the slow wipers I was able to make the drive safely. But I also noted that my wipers were working MUCH better after running for a while and the motor was not drawing as much power. Probably old hard grease getting warmed up and worked over and actually being a lubricant again. Zach |
