Cuore Automatic Maintenance Schedule

[Xulfiqar]

firstly, find someone who has a claybar (ask for a used one) - use that on the windscreen and make sure its clean all the way. Now check the wiper blades, when at rest they should sit "square" to the glass, if they are tilted or twisted or something (which some moron mechanics do for some reason), Fix that. The wipers will work correctly onwards.

The blades should be able to flex, if they are the metal cage type, make sure the assembly can flex, if not then fix that too, usually a drop of oil helps on the hinges of the blade skeleton. The last piece is that the blade mounting ear should not be floppy and loose. The blade should be able to rotate in one plane only on the mounting, otherwise the blade will chatter.

Btw, why are you calling these OEM? Did factory install these one? Also don't you think KYB is better?

Yup, OEM because Agri Autos is the OEM partner for Toyota, Daihatsu, Suzuki and a few others while some one mentioned that OEM and Retail parts from Agri Auto might differ in quality, however even the retail quality is wayyyyyy better than "kabuli" parts

I cannot see how wiper blades might be the culprit. My car's wiper blades were old and rough yet never squeaked at all.

Yeah, possibly the arms .. speaking on which .. sir @dayrider

i guess i didn't take a picture at the angle .. but yes they are titled -- like pressed against the windscreen

[Xulfiqar]

These spineless blades chatter specially in tropical weather, The old metal cage blades are superior to this for uniform pressure application on the glass.

[geek.maan]

ah I see, ... those spineless bastards I will see if I can lift them up so that they don't press down hard on the windscreen .. thank you for your kind guidance.

[rajaahmed96]

Get NWB wiper blades.

what happened to cuore? Did you managed to sell it?

In process. The deal with the dealer fell through because he did not want to pay transfer fees and neither did we. Now one of the buyers is definitely interested but he wants the car for dirt cheap and he is just wasting our time by not honoring to come at promised times. So yeah, in process but I am confident that this car can sell easily it is a hot cake in Karachi. When we were buying a couple of cuore were sold before we could finalize the deal.

however even the retail quality is wayyyyyy better than "kabuli" parts

True that, Why do people trust kabli suspension parts when the road conditions in Pakistan are apparent? it baffles me...

@geek.maan brother I get a feeling that your cuore is well maintained. Do share complete pictures if you are comfortable. Also, these do not look like the wipers on my cuore; they look better quality and are thicker.

[dayrider]

these are the sold silicon wipers, why did you remove the original ones? plus did someone tighten the wiper arms nuts, they could be too tight which would push the blades hard on the screen, try posting a video of them being used, the speed could help us judge if they are moving freely or not

[geek.maan]

The old ones broke off long ago, thanks to those kids who forcefully clean your windscreen at every 2nd signal, here in Islamabad (atleast).

Bolts were tightened, i remember since i asked one of the guys at auto shop to take the arms out and make em fresh with a black spray paint lol!

I will post a video today, InshaAllah.

[geek.maan]

Will do more InshaAllah! I have some .. maintained an album .. lol

[dayrider]

Did this problem start after that?
How did the old ones break, it's steel

[geek.maan]

After that ..yes ..

the wiper frames were okay the grip that clings to the arm broke off ..

I also just noticed while stopped at a signal that the driver side wiper arm is awkwardly bent?

Also, @muhammad.irtiza

[dayrider]

then its your wiper arms, they are too tight, loosen them up a bit, and watch the magic

[geek.maan]

they are too tight, loosen them up a bit,

today, InshaAllah -- no thanks to some of our amazing 'ustaads'

[muhammad.irtiza]

Very clean and well maintained car super.
Mashallah.
I have so many questions!

[geek.maan]

haha thank you

I have so many questions!

fire away

[omersiddiqui5482]

@geek.maan keep it up bhai

[geek.maan]

Thank you bro! always trying to keep it as much stock condition as i can -- as some may have noticed, previous owner had desi alloys and a CNG too, lol! i switched to stock rims and no CNG as early as i could after buying it.

[muhammad.irtiza]

Yeah same man, CNG operation had been done by previous owner of my car too, but he stripped it off before giving the car to me. You were luckier than me in this aspect of getting the car to stock and having a reliable car.

This bend is there to accomodate the metal caged blade, The reason you see this is because your spineless blade juts too much outwards from the glass compared to the original one.

Replace these with the original type, I have always found they work best. If for some reason you need spineless blades (e.g. you live in snow) - then find a blade that comes with different mounting pins, so that the blade can rest at the correct height from the glass. (e.g. late 00s nissans)
