My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

[tigger73]

Oh well, time to lick a hanky and wipe the water spots off. Looks like a mirror finish otherwise [emoji106]

Perhaps the water will come off better when you have stage 2?

Yes I think I’ll need to go Stage 3 and purchase a BBK to ensure I don’t get dribbles after washing.

Grab a mini blower skin made by whichever brand cordless power tool batteries you have at home. Use it to blow the water out of all the drippy bits before you dry.

Yes I’ve seen a few detailers use these.

I’ll put it on he wish list. Maybe if I’m really good Santa may bring me an 18V power tool set with rattle gun, polisher, electric blower, etc.

After I wash it I’ll dry it off but then I inevitably end up coming out later to water runs from the mirrors or boot.

Anyone else had similar experience?

Yeah, the mirrors were drippy when I picked the car up from the dealership
The boot, I always open her up and dry around the the door and sills

First drive in the rain today. My wipers are really grippy and very noisey as they wipe over the windscreen. So much so I turned them off and manually activated when I thought necessary. Anyone else having this issue? Assume this is due to new rubber and hence they're too grippy.

Facing sort of the same issue but on the back wiper

[tigger73]

First thing I'd do for the wipers is to give the windscreen(s) a good clean. If they have got polish on them or had some coating apply this can cause the wiper blades to judder.

Get out some windex or other glass cleaner and give the glass a good clean and see how it goes.

I use Rainex, treat the glass and rubber blades, the rubber blades get rainex on the every 6months, after I wash the car and the blades. You’d be surprised how long the blades last when treated with rainex.

[Jeljones]

Picked up the car today after an Opticoat glass treatment. It was raining ever so slightly and the wipers activated. No noise noticeable. Guess the windshield just needed a clean.

Could I trouble someone with a Wolfsburg/162 having 19/20 in wheels to measure the height of the car (getting a new driveway done and have limited height clearance with the garage door so need to see if the new car will fit in the garage when it arrives)

Cheers!

Should not be an issue, I would think garage door would have to be min 1.8m to be legal?

Tiguan (all models) are 1,665mm in height
