Adjusting Wiper Blades Resting Position

[NissanSilvia]

My passengers side windscreen wiper makes a noise when it gets to the bottom of its motion. When I had a look at it, it looks as though the blade mechanism is touching the black plastic shrouding at the bottom of the windscreen when it reaches the bottom of its motion. I think this is possibly making the clunk type noise I hear when it gets to the bottom. How do you adjust the resting position of the wiper blade arm?

It sounds very unlikely that it would be an arm adjustment issue. Unless they have been removed before. To adjust the position you will need to pull the arm off and then reseat it on the splines.

Does anyone else have an issue with the passenger side blade assembly touching the black plastic shrouding at the bottom of the windscreen?

Has the plastic shroud moved up at all? Do both wiper blades stop evenly in same place? They both should be pretty much horizontal to windscreen on bottom

Has any work been done that would require removal of the plenum and wipers?

I don't think the plastic shroud has moved up at all. They are both basically horizontal to the windscreen but the passenger wiper sits about 5cm lower than the driver's side one.

Not to my knowledge

Might just be one click too low on the spline. You can adjust it pretty easy, there's a little cap where the arm pivots, pop that off and there is just a nut there, undo that and I think you just have to lift arm in the up position and it disengages it from spline and you can pull it off

Did this and it worked. Was just adjusted a bit too low for some reason. Thanks for the info. Was actually pretty easy, thought it would be a bit more complex with the geometry of the wipers.
