Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 5m 22d Posted 21/06/20 07:14 AM Share Posted 21/06/20 07:14 AM I painted the wipers on my BF XR6 Turbo and fitted Bosch Aerotwin blades. Since then both wipers sometimes change their set position. So sometimes when on high speed, the drivers side wiper will bang against the windscreen pillar and sometimes it won't. This is driving me crazy. I have adjusted them many times. Does anyone know whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 5m 22d Posted 21/06/20 07:35 AM Author Share Posted 21/06/20 07:35 AM No. You place the splines on the wiper arm in place, and then use the nut to tighten them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
