#1 of 16 Auto wiper blade problems by ssp1 Nov 04, 2006 (8:48 am)
My wiper blades on automatic are very noisy. Dealer says thats the way it is. Does anyone have the same issue?

I noticed that in very light rain, my '06 LR3 HSE's auto windshield wipers wipe too much - even with just a tiny bit of mist.. so that would be the only time it makes extra noise - but that is the same as any other car I've owned..   I just turn off the auto-wipe when the rain is too light.   /DA

Replying to: ssp1 (Nov 04, 2006 8:48 am) I turned my wipers on for the first time today (Brand new LR3 V6 SE). They were virtually silent for about the first 20 minutes worth of light rain, then they got REALLY noisy. They even left a little rubber residue on the windshield. I don't know what to do...   Keith

I saw on tirerack.com that they sell the Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade. This appears to be identical to the factory front wiper blades. They are on sale for $20 each with a buy one get one free. They also have a 16 inch rear one but I don't know if it will fit our LR3's. I googled Valeo and saw it on other sites also. I think I'm just going to buy the PIAA Super Silicone blades myself, but if anybody buys the Valeo one, please report back to the list.

Replying to: lr3maybe (Jan 12, 2007 7:03 am) Has anyone had luck talking to a dealer about this? its not good when the wiper blades on a $57K LR# sounds worse than a cheap rental hyundai..I have to imagine there is a solution. This cant be something that cant be solved. Replies to this message: bcr1956 (Jul 09, 2008 3:59 pm) kookmyer1 (Apr 23, 2009 12:44 pm)

Replying to: lr3maybe (Jan 12, 2007 7:03 am) I purchased a set of blades from Tire Rack for my 2006 LR-3. They are horrible. The don't conform to the curvature of the windshield. They're headed for the trash as soon as a get a chance to buy some decent blades. Replies to this message: ssp1 (Apr 17, 2007 3:00 pm)

Replying to: steveschneider (Apr 17, 2007 2:00 pm) I actually went to a diff dealer. The service writer said that the blades get dried out sitting on the lot before the car is sold. Thats actually plausable. They replaced them and its been very quiet since when using them. I learned my lesson the hard way several years ago with my Disco II, getting third party blades put on. Never do that again

Replying to: ssp1 (Nov 04, 2006 8:48 am) I have a LR3 2006 same problem with the noisy blades and dealer will do nothing. New Land Rover blades very expensive and only sold in pairs.

Replying to: lr3looser (Aug 16, 2007 6:57 pm) We sell single wiper blades all the time.   Someone makes a replacement blade, Bosch I think, that doesn't have the squeaky problem and the newer OEM blades that came out in the last few months don't seem to do it either.
