MGS5 Wiper shuddering

[hayleyeb]

Hello, My MGS5 is less then a week old and have just driven it in the rain.

I have noticed the wipers are change from nice and smooth and then shudders. Has anyone else experienced this? I have checked blades for cleanliness and no dirt or debris came off. Thank you

Check that the blades are clean and that the angle the blade hits the glass at is 90 degrees or close to it. YouTube is your friend for how to adjust the angle.
Wipers can judder or skip if the angle of attack is too shallow on the "forward" stroke because of friction Cheaper blades as often fitted by manufacturers are more prone to skipping.

Polish the glass too but if there's still a problem take it back to the dealer as this shouldn't happen on a brand new car.
