DB9 wiper arms parking too high

[alan-ix350]

Only thing i hate on my DB9 is that in my view, both wiper arms park too high.
Its not the fitting of the arm on the spline, its the shape of the arms !!.
I am tempted to re bend the arms so they park below the line of the bonnet.
Has anyone done this successfully before ???

If you lower the park position, will they still have the correct sweep to clear the screen?

Over the years there has been much discussion on the best wiper blades to use on the DB9 such as the style, efficiency and cost of replacement.
I think style is year dependent.
If your car is pre facelift I am pretty sure the blades on your car are not OEM.

The original fit, which I have on my car, are much chunkier, see pic, and sort of fill the parking space so not too be intrusive (this is subjective). Personally I would be very wary of trying to bend the wiper arms if original as (mine) they seem to be made of a very granular material and after a couple of decades of weathering could be very brittle.

The blades you have are quite slim and the fitting does not angle them down like the originals therefore they seem to stand out (again subjective) if they work well I would be inclined to leave well alone as there have been many posts regarding poor water clearing and noise.

Unless there has been a dramatic reshaping of the scuttle and bonnet I cannot see how you could get the wipers below the bonnet line

The bonnet width is too narrow and the arms would clatter into each other. But hey, there are some pretty inventive people out their.
