    How do folks?

    I've got a weird problem with my Windscreen wipers - the passenger side wiper keeps on clipping the roof when it moves .

    I didn't notice it until recently, but now the cars are frosty in the morning etc, it's starting to scratch the roof.

    As a bit of a botch, I've had to turn the wiper 'upside down', but that's hardly a long term solution.

    Does anyone have any thoughts, or is it a trip to the garage this evening?

    Cheers

    Get down to Halfords and buy the correct ones for the car, they've got a book that quotes the specific ones for the car.

    Thanks euroslap, I'm pretty sure they are the correct ones / the right size (21"/19") - I've had the car for almost a year, and haven't noticed.

    I had a 'little' bump recently, perhaps that has shuffled something around. Or perhaps it's all in my mind...

    Oh well, off to Halfords.

    I can't imagine the wiper linkage would have moved, they're held pretty solid and wouldn't operate properly if they'd been disturbed or bent.

    I believe the 21" is on the drivers side and the 19" is passenger. Check that the 21" hasn't been fitted on the passenger side (or that two 21" blades been fitted).
