Windscreen Wipers
Discussion
Hi. The drivers wiper misses the screen in the centre of its sweep - i.e. just the bit I need to look through. Both ends clear quite well and the passengers side works quite well.
I know the weathers been great lately, but it cant stay like this for ever.
Blades are new (Bosch). Any ideas? Should I bend the central parts of the feet that hold the rubber in towards the screen a bit? I've had a look at the spring but that doesnt seem to offer easy adjustment.
Thanks

Same with mine. I found a coating of Rainex water repellent stuff made a big differnce. It doesn't last that long, but it doesn't take long to apply either. I'd say its definitely worth giving it a try. A few quid at Halfords and 15 mins application the first time to get a good, even layer.

can i ask what wipers you ask for at your local halfords etc?i got stuck once in the rain when the locating dowel on my one wiper fell out.looking for replacement wiper in nearby halfods,i could easily find a 14 inch blade,but not one with the correct plastic union to fit the wiper arm,so i had to re-use the old faded and probably quite brittle one.any ideas?
mongoose said: i assumed that theyre the same.i used to have a chim,and they appear identical? as for the forum,i thought id get more welly than i have for being on chim side.do i get forced to drive my wifes mx5 for a week for being a trator? think i might lurk but remain anonymous from now on!
Your always welcome mongoose.

Was at Fernies today and had a good look around a metallic green Griff 500, bloody gorgeous, never really liked green cars, but this was superb!
So who’s the traitor now?
