Windscreen Drive gear

<< < (2/2)

ruSTynutz:
Having an aftermarket larger screen will put additional strain on the gear as well...
I just leave my screen in the one position unless I really need to alter the height.

Like Glen said, try to only alter the height while travelling at slow speed so there's less stress on the mechanism.

Apparently it's not as simple as you'd think, or at least that's what Steve from Bikequip has said...


--- Quote ---It is worth mentioning at this point that manufacturing the gear involves a process called Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) or more commonly known as ‘spark-erosion’ whereby a very fine wire is used to erode an intricate patterned recess in the base of the gear to provide a perfect fit onto the drive shaft of the wiper motor.
No other process can achieve this fine machining.

Wild Rose:
I have a windscreen metal gear in a box somewhere
I will have to find it and put it up for sale
I purchased it from the US and never used it
Stay tuned

BM Brian:
I think the main cause of the failure is the lubricant in the cable, when I dismantled mine I thought the issue was the blocks not sliding freely however it turned out the the inner cable was the issue, I could barely move the cable.
