VF Wiper Issues

[Sir Les]

Here's a pic of mine. The driver's side is very slightly higher than the passenger's side at rest, and both of them lie at an angle slightly above the horizontal. I have no trouble with them.

it does look like your passenger one is sitting higher than the drivers one in your picture.

it is probably 1 notch out on the spline and comparing it to panheads picture the passenger one looks to be the one that is out of alignment as your one seems to rest higher than his in the pictures or your front window has been changed and the black border of the window is different.

if the window has been changed maybe the guys that changed it took them off and did not put them back on properly.

I agree, it's the passenger side arm that is too high and needs to be removed and refitted.

The driver's side arm needs to be the leader so as the two don't foul.

This is my Merc with a significant over lap but while the driver's side is always higher the passenger side can never catch it.

If you go to high it will start hitting the side window frame, wet the window and see how close the wipers get first then you know how much u can raise them.

This will help

It looks a bit like the arms are back to front. As in the drivers arm is on the passenger side.
I kooked it putting mine back on and pretty much had this happen.

Lift them. Underneath it will say PA(ssanger) and DR(ivers)

Drivers side has the wobble where it fixes to the wiper mechanism.

I agree. But they are hopeless. I will go in the next service and annoy them about it. I have photos to show them thanks to you guys.

 

[MasterC]

Yes

Yes what he says to do!

As in undo longer arm and move it up. I will do that.

As in undo longer arm and move it up. I will do that.

From your photos is looks as though the passenger side arm needs to come down.

It appears from the photos from the other owners that the end tip of the blade should be about in line with the black strip at the bottom of the windscreen.

Droped the passenger side a step down. So far so good. No random "wiper aerobics" or fluttering. May need a bit more tweaking. Thanks for everyones help.

It makes sense that the wiper blade that follows the other should be lower otherwise they would try and crisscross.
