V60 Wiper Hitting Pillar

daveaasmith · Jan 16th, 2019, 19:55

I’m getting the drivers side wiper hitting the pillar on almost every sweep - anyone had this before?

The arm has no play, it sits horizontally when parked, I’ve got new(ish) Bosch wipers which all look fine.

Guessing the fix is to remove the arm and refit a bit lower, but anyone have any experience of this problem?

Perhaps the bosch wiper is a touch too long or as you mentioned it may need moving on the splined shaft.

I had this problem when I had a windscreen replaced, I called Autoglass back and it was embarrassingly easy and quick to sort (like less than 1 minute). Not certain what they did but it involved a spanner and i think an adjustment to the spindle.
