So I took off my wiper blades to clean them the other day... and got it mixed up.
Now i dont know which side is which.


Can someone tell me if the longer one is on the passenger or driver side please lol....

 

On the Gen1 and 2s it was Long one (19") on Passenger side Short one (18")on Driver side.

Motor on!

 

Shorter blade on the driver side, longer on the passenger. They are a J hook design and have a additional little snap out flap on the top.

Related to wipers... I have wiper marks on the windshield. Does anyone know how to remove them? It's completely clear during the day, but only show up when theres water on it. I think it's the wiper rubbing in to the glass.

I'm sure it's not a real scratch or dirt or anything like that.

I tried windex, magic cleaner (microfiber block), microfiber, vinegar, Stone Invisiglass glass cleaner, nothing seems to get it out.

 

Might be scratched , can you see etching at an angle in the sunlight. Also might be the rain X wearing off.

 

No scratch. I'm pretty sure it is the wiper blade silicone getting accumulated on the glass. I just don't know how to get rid of that thing. It's on my Mazda too. I keep the glass very clean at all times.

 

0000 steel wool.

 

Rain X? Please explain.

 

When it wears down allot it tends to streak when it rains. Like a little is still there, with rain X you have to keep applying it through the year.

 

Is this a treatment that Mini is putting on their cars. I only ask because I recently purchased a previously-owned 2015 F56 and noticed that the wipers make a strange noise - almost like there is something on the windshield. And when I clean the windshield with Windex, it doesn't feel like smooth glass.

I just thought that the wipers were probably new as it doesn't rain much here. Is this Rain X?

Thanks.

 

I do apply RainX once in a while, but could that be what's completely getting stuck on the Windshield? I applied RainX again and wiped it completely clean with water and then also with alcohol. It's spotless under the sun no matter how close I get to it, but only start seeing the wiper mark when there's water. The water kind of sticks on to that area.

Maybe I should try the 0000 steel wool sometime.

 

Not that I heard of, the previous owner might have treated it with rain X.
