Wiper sweep adjustment

Postby peterdpps » Tue Nov 07, 2023 3:21 pm

I’ve noticed that the wipers do not perform a complete arc towards the base of the screen particularly on slow speed. They cover more of the screen on full speed and park correctly.
Can I adjust the sweep?

Regards
Peter

Hello Peter,

no is the short answer as that is determined physically by the gear\crank inside the motor.

With age all the linkages tends to wear, and if the screen is relatively dry drag diminishes the sweep, as it parks correctly then it is adjusted correctly.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case.
Just have to live with it!
