Wiper not right

XAlp · 05-30-2018, 05:21 PM

Had my windscreen replaced. The driver side wiper now stops at say 4 minutes to twelve as I look out - it’s annoying, particularly if dry but screenwashing a dusty screen - dirty line “almost” in my eye line. Is it easy to adjust?

Did they touch the wiper when they installed the windscreen?
You might need to take the wiper arm off and reinstall.

How does it sit at rest?

Be careful not to over do it. If you set the maximum sweep position too close to the A-pilar then during high speed wipe, with a cross wind, it will contact the pilar. Had to have mine adjusted back, to prevent this, after replacement windscreen.
