Wipers

They are secondary drive not direct which means you can move them without resistance from the drive gear, my left 1 seems to go slightly off the screen, are these adjustable? :-)

Yes there are small lines on the windscreen that show the parked position, just move them on the splines like you do with normal wipers. High winds will push mine of the edge of the screen occasionally.

Cheers I'll have a look, it's strange because they don't seem to be connected lol

I replaced my left 1 off eBay 30 shelkels and i haven't noticed anything with it.

I think they are non direct drive and have lots of 'not in park' sensors or something.

You can move 1 above the other and then when you press wipe it goes up, waits for the other to sweep then comes down back to where it goes :shock: after you madame :lol:

Also the wiper arm has a segment block which limits its movement min and max but i see no evidence that it actually hits it :? Also have you noticed on intermittent the wipers don't go all the way down they start about an inch up, turn them off and then they settle to the bottom.

Blows my mind tbh.

That will be it staying an inch up on intermittent
So that's "normal" :lol:
Think its best to try not to think about them then :)
