Wipers: Can their direction motion be changed?

Hi Folks I know the issue has been discussed about the reverse motion of the wipers. Rains lashed Hyd yesterday and used them for the first time. The left seems to throw water on the right in this motion. Just wanted to know if someone has got the direction of motion changed .....

changing the direction of the motion won't help. let's pray Mahindra comes out with a different system in the upcoming cars, so that we can get it retrofitted.

Curious is this the case with Logan globally!!!

yeah!it is the case in other countries as elsewer its left hand drive!!
Anyways! the good News is tat Mahindra Renault are coming out with changed wipers! They are currently testing! will come out in new Logans sooon!!

Hope Mahindra provide options of changing the existing reverse wipers with the new ones.

Hi all any update on the wiper issues, no fixes till now

Hi All

This is Bhaskar from Bangalore i have Logan diesel DLS model. This is my first car and i bought it 2 months back and i have a strange problem with my wiper when i on the wiper for 5 to 10 minutes continious it is having a strange sound and the wiper is dragging and suddenly stops working and gets stuck in the middle and i had this problem when i was going out to mysore i had to stop nearly 5 times on my way as the wiper used to stop function when i was driving do any one have the same problem and i had taken it for the service station (Sireesh Motors)and the guy in the service station told me that we need to use the shampoo for the water when we spray and after all that he told me that it will work fine but nothing happened i had the same issue today i have given the vehicle for repair and the techician told me that there is a fault in the motor wiper and need to replace it with a new one and i want to know if any one is have the same issue.

Thanks
Bhaskar

Even if new wipers came with reversed directions, it wouldnt be possible to fit them on current cars friends.

The positioning logic of existing wipers doesnt allow such a fitment.

The base of wipers cannot be changed. so even new wipers with different directions will not help our current cars.

I hope u could understand what im trying to say

i am not telling you that i am changing the direction of the wiper but the wiper is not working properly the motor of the wiper is getting heated up and the wiper is dragging and making noise and it stops working suddenly and then i need to switch off the engine and switch on the engine after 10 min to cool down the wiper motor and i had to do this for 5 time and the wiper switch were not working at all when the wiper used to stop working

This is bloody scarry. With such rains in India, it can definately be fatal. Please go to the service center and ask them REPLACE it IMMEDIATELY if not REPAIR it..
Dont delay it one minute brother. Also, please dont take any crap from them!

thanks sAuMiL i have already send my vehicle for repair and they have told me that they need to replace the motor with a new one and one more thing is i wanted to know if any one had the similar problem with the wiper and thanks for the early reply

Bhasi

no as such problem so far


only prob is regarding there working that is they r not cleaning d mirror properly and spilling water on drivers side


even my wiper is changed as it broked down ,.....and hw dat i dnt knw...
they also told me to use shamppoo water..

Yes the actual problem is the water splurging on to the drivers side.. Giving the passenger rather than the driver the BEST view

The wipers are a pure patch job put up by Mahindra. What is more pathetic is to increase the cover area on the driver side, they had modified the wipers to give a bigger angle using more moveable parts meaning more wear and tear more maintenance and more failure.

They should probably call all cars back and get them fitted with a standard wipers

Ya, i would have preferred normal kind of wipers. But, in my opinion, its not that big a problem. All this time in the monsoon, I didn't have any problem!

Guys just live with it! We were aware of this problem right at the beginning when we were deciding to buy this car, there is no use making a hue and cry over it now. Cmon Guys take it in your stride

agreed... however, i think it is a very basic design oversight.. a minor modification of the lenth of the wipers and changes in the swipe timing could have saved teh company from this embarassment..

is it a reflection of Tractor companies trying to sell cars?
