We are having some problems where the way cover has developed some pretty deep gouges in it. As a result the spring steel wipers hang up and actually will start to fold over. We have replaced these wipers once already and now we are being told that the way covers need to be replaced along with a new set of wipers. The total cost of the parts is $5200,00 plus a days labor. The machine is only 2-1/2 years old. Does anyone have any insight?
 
Without seeing them no. I use to repair covers a lot. But even with welding, bending, or machining the covers they are rarely ever the same again. Water is best to blow chips down inside the machine compressed air just forces chips into the wipers and any crack to build up and destroy wipers and covers. That would be my first guess without seeing the machine.
