I've just had the leven wipers fitted to my car - the trouble is, they don't work. If I put on the wipers the driver's side one pulls away from the glass and stays about 4 inches away, so it's not wiping anything. The other one'e a little better.
If you pull the wiper away from the windscreen a few inches, it stays there, rather than springing back. The other one's spring doesn't seem very good neither. Wish I left the old ones on now.
Anybody encountered this before?

I have these, and fitted them with no problems. They were an improvement. Are you sure they are fitting all the way down the splines - or Maybe your set is simply faulty? Try talking to Leven as thay are helpful.

After advice from Leven it turned out they were just stiff. So after a good dousing of WD40 everything seems ticketyboo.

Cheers.

just take the wiper of the non-drivers-side off. looks much more better and for the driver there is still a fine wiped window. and who cares if the passenger can see through the window when its raining ?
