Has anyone else noticed the large area of un-wiped window on the right hand side of the drivers wiper?

seems to miss a lot of glass to me?

only noticed today, as its the first time i have used them!

From memory it's between 1- 2inches for me. Not finding to too bad, unless it's picked up a lot of dirt from the rest of the screen.

Mine is fine. Maybe an adjustment needed TC?

so, took in today to have tailgate alignment fixed... which they have.

But also they fixed the wipers.

They were positioned very low, and every time they started a sweep there was a small knock/thud. and the drivers wiper was ending it's sweep maybe 2-3 inches away from the right hand edge of the windscreen...

Now, no thud and the top of the wiper blade very nearly touched the edge of the glass, so sweeping a good 15 degrees more to the right...


Might be something to check, not sure if wipers are set low for transportation to keep them out of harms way..

but mine are now very different.
