Windscreen Wipers

#1: Windscreen Wipers Author: NathanG, Location: Ebbw Vagas (Wales) PostPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:00 am

Does anyone else's drivers side wiper hang over the windscreen. I have just replaced mine with 22" Bosch blades from Halfords. Every set i've had on the car have all hung over the glass. Is there a way to either

a. shorten the arm

b. somehow pull the whole unit back towards the passengers side a bit more

or

c. adjust the unit so the wiper blade applies more pressure to the glass.

Any suggestions.

aero flat wiper or standard wiper?

you will need 21" for the aero one, 22" for the standard one.

22" aero. Its the one with 'the thing' on the drivers side wiper only. The overhang is so massive i dont think 21" would be enough to get all of it on the glass.

I bought the 21" and 22" set and just put 21" on drivers side. Not a problem.

Explain my phase one that rolled of the production line with 2 x 22" wiper blades factory fitted then? Wink

Its the size of the wiper arms that dictate the size of the wiper blades, early 206's had different size wiper arms.
