Hi

Noticed that one of my windscreen wipers is slightly off-set. Meaning that it goes down to far and hits the rubber windscreen seal, the other is about 3" away from it. Is there any tips on how to ajust this? as on my bay I only touched it and ended up breaking the thing.

Also how would I go about testing to see if my shocks are OK?

Thansk for any advice

yep, just take the wiper off, move it to the correct angle and screw it back up..easy. Theres a nut under the cap on the fulcrum. Shocks...urm dunno.

Yeap I thought as much just didnt want to break anything


Cheers

The arms are on tapered splines....no need to remove them, just slacket the 6mm nuts off 2-3 full turns, pull the wiper arms straight up, wiggle them to unseat from taper, lower and re-position on the screen in the correct place, re-tighten nuts....less than a minutes job each one, really!

But you may need to place a bit of thin wood or plastic on the body close to the wiper and gently lever with a flat blade oposite to the wiper arm side to free it while you wiggle.

Sorry mate....never in my 30+ years working with cars have I ever had to lever off wiper arms from spindles...really. Just lift the arms so they are standing vertically, then a gentle back and forth movement...2 seconds and there off.
