    Time is more a factor than the distance travelled.

    No you shouldn't. Reality is that you have an issue and need to do something about it.

    It wasn't actually clear it's a brand new car, so I'd guarantee it's shipping fallout on the windscreen.

    This.

    If it rode here on the upper deck, and sat in various holding yards for any length of time, the wiper rubbers aren't going to be at their best.

    I picked it up as it arrived in Aus.

    My Golf R wipers lasted 5 years before they had to be changed.

    Going in for first check-up 5 weeks after purchase so will get them looked at.

    On the way top VW for the 4 week check the wipers were not vibrating!!! Typical.

    Told VW about it, they checked, windex'ed the screen and the problem does not seem to be there anymore.... Strange.
