After getting my car back from the bodyshop,i know find that the drivers side wiper arm catches the underneath of the bonnet ! currently have the bonnet slightly raised on the drivers side to avoid chipping,question is could it need a new arm with a stronger spring to hold the arm flatter to the screen or is there some movement that can be adjusted on the mechanism ie new bushes??? TIA Mel .

This issue was there before i had the car sprayed..but seems to be worse now..so no blame there, i did remove the wipers to clean the heater control thingy..but replaced in the exact same way...maybe i should remove the offending wiper and clean the spline and refit..i was just hopefull that it might be just a new arm !

Whilst wipers are off remove plastic covers underneath and clean out years of crap and debris...it's so satisfying.

I have already cleaned all the crap out from underneath the front scuttle..not sure about bending things so maybe tap a bit more thread on the spline if this is possible...2002 '52 S54 - Titanium Silver with 18" BBS LMs, AP Racing BBK, KW V3, H&R anti roll bars & ACS flippers (previously 2000 'X' S50 - Arctic Silver)
