Hi,

I have had new wiper blades installed by the mechanic but the first time i went to use them the larger blade end clashes with the other blade end. Is there anyway to fix this allingment please.

Take it back to your mechanic, better still, tell us who realy installed them.

That happened to me too . Some aftermarket blades are prone to do it as the mounting point on the blade is off centre . I fixed it by unbolting the passenger side wiper arm and moving it a couple of milimeters towards the bottom of the screen .

Not installed by me. The Brisbane mechanic did it as part of a car service and since i no longer work in Brisbane its out of my way to go back to him. Just wondering if there is a minor adjustment i can do to get the alli

Likely a length issue rather than the alignment.

Yeah , the ones i bought were a universal fit and were supplied with three different mounting clips ,and when you compare the old wipers with the new ones the mounting clip is just a fraction longer so the driver side blade is a couple of bees dicks longer towards the passenger side .
