Wiper arms

Post by Austins »

Hi guys n girls got a prob with the wiper arms on the caddy the lower part seems to be hitting the screen, the previous owner has tie wrapped some rubber round them to stop them damaging the screen, any ideas where to start here on the cause of the issue

I'd check the wiper mechanism at the bottom of the windscreen. If it's not fitted properly, the shafts your arms are mounted onto, do not protrude enough to clear the screen or at an angle because the rearmost locating pin is not in position.

I've seen the mechanism put back incorrectly before, after a "retrofitter" had it out to fit coilovers.
