[Awlred Drives a Quant]

Has anyone else experianced this...my wipers seep to have a fairly restricted arch when they first start going, but after a few minutes the DS blade is hitting the rubber at the side and then they both clonk down on the bottom rubber, except the PS one has a tendancy of flying past the bottom of the windscreen and sticking...

Anyone have any solutions as i'm completly ignorant on how to adjust the wiper motor if its atall possible..cheers

the wiper arms are on spline shafts. so they go one more than one way. turn the wipers off. pull off the wiper arms and set them up a bit higher.

Sorry to be dense, but do you mean the wipers are travelling too far in both directions? If so, it will mean more than just repositioning them on the splines, won't it Adam?

Yes Mr Teapot. They overrun the rubbers on both directions.

(I figured "yes" looked rather lonely by itself )

Maybe, I'll see if I can pick up a new on at BBB, managed to get work co-ordinated so I could have it off. :-D

Ok, would be nice if I could find a pair of wiper blades that actually clean the screen Lol

Well yeah, but I'd like a toilet seat of solid gold but its not in the cards now is it?

The wheel boxes and the push rod need greasing up, but the whole thing may be suffering from wear. The wipers hitting the seal requires the arms repositioning on the splines.

Just a thought, but the correct lenght blades are fitted? 10 or 11 inch

mine overrun on both bottom and the drivers side of the seal.

solution, i dont use the wipers! they make it harder to see anyhow as they dont wipe so well!
