600 grit sandpaper dry or wet I use wet with carb cleaner then dielectric
grease once cleaned and contacts have been adjusted (tightened).

I'm getting the notion that the wiring and electronics on VW's cause a lot
of problems. What is a good method for cleaning connectors? Is there
something you can put on them to keep them from getting dirty/oxidizing? I
would just think to use a small wire brush, or a dremel with a wire brush
attachment.

Aireq,

I had this problem then I replaced my wiper switch and it went away. I
think it has to do with corrosion and/or wear on the contacts inside the
wiper switch.
