Drivers wiper hitting offside windscreen trim

rt2 · 7th August 2008, 08:02

Hi i have a problem with the above. It does not do it all the time.

Is it simply a case of moving the wiper arm on the spline? Although my drivers wiper is parallel with the bottom of the screen.

Any hints tips appreciated

Make sure the blade is 22".

You may also have a blade where the mounting isn't in the correct place for a Rover (ie it's offset)

I had the same problem once over a certain speed.

Like you say, I just moved it round one notch of the spline & problem fixed.

Mark your present spline position with a white mark, move round and then remove original mark, and place new one if it works OK and as previous, make sure you have correct blade length.
