Passenger wiper

[MBV511EAE]

Numpty question

My passenger side wiper doesn't sit flush to the screen when it's parked and fails to sweep most of the passenger side.

Is a wiper upgrade (because the drivers wiper needs replacing anyway)

Should I just try and bend this wiper arm down so the wiper is flush?
It's been like it since I bought the car and just haven't got around it sorting it yet?

Cheers

Mine is the same but I believe the Leven upgrade will cure this.

Mines been like this for 5 years. Dont care really as I never sit in the passenger seat. My wife is less than impressed though

Yeah that's the problem the purse string holder (and full time passenger) is too short normally - she's only 5ft 2. I've had to raise the seat up.....but now the wipers are in the way. Oddly there's a strange whining noise from the passenger side whenever she's in the car... I'll be grounded!

Mine still does it even though I have the Leven kit! Not that i'm really bothered by it but I think it probably has to do with how low you set the park point when attaching the wipers... I like mine low and out of the way but this means that they stick off the edge of the screen a bit, a bit higher and i'm sure it would sit flush!

Mine still sticks off the screen a bit, even when set a bit higher but they are so much better than the originals. Add in the raised seat and my wife can now see out.

Thank God it didn't rain yesterday afternoon, managed to drive 40 miles without realising the wipers were all crossed and locked after I did a rush screen wipe with a cloth before shooting off to a meeting.
