As a new chim owner,(4 days and counting) today was the first day out in the total pissing rain! To say visibility wasn't great, is an understatement, but none the less, I managed to keep it on the road, with many cautious words of advice ringing in my head.

However, my problem is with the windscreen wipers. Once they're going, the nearside wiping arm moves across and then clips the other wiping arm, making a nasty and noise clonk! After more then two minutes this starts to get on the nerves! Is this a standard design fault, or has the garage I've just bought it from (a tvr specialist) just put the wrong blades and arms on?

If neither, do you know of a work around for this small but annoying prob.

Cheers.

Take it off and move it away from the other wiper (turn slightly on spindle). Careful it doesn't then start wiping the bonnet!

Turn the wipers off, take off the roof and peer over the top of the screen

Cheers, the simple and obvious solution of undoing it, rotating it seems to have worked. Not to sure why I didn't think of that, but none the less, cheers.

ps. as you say, the top right edge of the bonnet will now be wiped dry every time the wipers are on! (well almost).
