    Hi peeps !

    Today I was attaching the wiper arms to my car ... as usual I taped up areas on the screen to align them ...

    Drivers side Dimension = 30 ... 40 mm

    Passenger side Dimension = 10 ... 15 mm

    Dimensions indicate distance between tips of wiper blades and black cowl panel grille at bottom edge of windscreen
    Now I used to wander why the wipers would occasionally do a twitch up down sometimes at ignition off ...

    Well today I found out ...

    Every second time the wiper motor is switched off it runs back slightly after reaching the end position, which turns the lip of the wiper blade in the opposite direction.
    So peeps wiper blade is always in correct position ...

    But
    ...

    The wiper motor moves the wiper arms down beyond their end position and then back up slightly. This slightly raised position must not be used when aligning the wiper crank.

    You must use the end setting at which the wiper motor moves directly to its park position (without returning). Operate the “touch-wipe function” again as necessary.
    Ahhh! perfect ...

    Hey Gup,

    Good info, I wondered why the wipers moved slightly, clever stuff.
