Hi I wonder if anyone can help, my drivers side windscreen wiper is hitting the A pillar. My dad replaced the blades a while back with Bosch ones and everything was fine but now it just scrapes the pillar.
The blades both measure 22" I think I read some where they are different sizes.
Thanks

Different sizes depending on the year, and then different again if you've fitted the aero flat wipers.

I'm sure you can alter the sweep of the wipers, when you open the bonnet right in the middle at the very top are two knobs you can twist. At least there is on mine.

Ha!
This is the problem I have today. I snapped the Bocsh Aerotwin AR22U blades on & the drivers wiper is leaving a patch of dirty windscreen approx. 3"-4" wide along the length of the A pillar. When it's parked, you can see the top 3" is not resting on the windscreen. I look on the back of the box & it doesn't list any Peugeot models.
So, I then look at this site:
www.boschwipers.co.uk/...er-blades/
and Bosch only specify the 26"/19" combo for 206s built from 1998-2000. So, you can determine from that point that Bosch do not recommend any replacement flat wipers other than the former mention combo.
So, before www.wiperblades.co.uk get back to me with a response & a replacement for my drivers side wiper, may I ask if the 21" wiper fully cleans the area alongside the A pillar? The normal 22" wiper does this without a problem.
