Having a front wiper problem is not uncommon. This is one of the most common problems, and not only on the Opel Rak E. The wipers have also become consumables, because they wear out easily and are simple to replace . But the problems can be quite different, and the origins will therefore vary. It can come from broom , engine , or a electric problem among others. So we will see the most common symptoms, and how to fix them.
Complete failure of the front wiper of your Opel Rak E
The problem is undoubtedly the engine of your front wiper. When you want to make sure, you can measure the electrical current at the input of the wiper motor. However, this is a precaution that is not absolutely mandatory. The failure is probably due to the engine. You must in this situation buy a new engine, compatible with your Opel Rak E . It is also possible that the problem comes from broom training . In this case, activate it manually. When the latter moves on its pivot perfectly, it means that it does not show any problem.
The front wiper of your Opel Rak E is noisy
A noisy front wiper on an Opel Rak E isn't a big deal, but it's definitely quickly annoying. If you hear a shrill noise is that it comes from the wear of the rubber blade of the broom. As if you were operating it on the dry windshield. In this case you will probably have to replace it. When it is a squeaky noise , the training is probably slightly seized. It then suffices to lubricate it, and the problem will be solved.
The front wipers of the Opel Rak E are not going at the right speed
This time it's a problem that can be problematic, especially during torrential rain and the front wipers are particularly slow. For information, at maximum speed, the speed is approximately one round trip per second. If they are actually much slower, the causes can be multiple. But there is a strong probability that it is the engine that is the cause. You can always remove elements to perceive what slows down the mechanism. Be careful not to damage the windshield. It is also plausible that wear and tear on the broom will slow down operation. In this case, it will suffice to replace brushes .
