Default Re: What problems have you had with your Mondeo?

Drivers side wiper arm would make the most annoying squeak, went in for two services and they would "fix it" - but their fix would last a week at best.

I set myself the challenge of fixing this myself and was able to quickly determine that the large rubber moulding which runs along the base of the window and has two circular holes cut out for the wiper fixing to rotate from was not correctly fitted, which meant that the drivers side wiper arm wasn't centred in the hole and was rubbing on the edge instead - and this is where the squeak was coming from. 43,000km and 2 minutes later and having used a sharp craft knife to cut away a some of the rubber, and all fixed!
