Wiper Problems

[lilbob]

a while ago my wiper linkage seized solid so after following the advice from this forum i took them apart and re-greased them that was that untill they started sticking again

so once again i stripped them down this time i used copper grease

but now i get a slight rumbling sound every now and then and also they dont seem to reach the edge of the screen now not sure if iv set the linkage up right so any help would be great

thanks all

Hope this helps. If you look at your wipers from the fron the LH wiper should be 35mm from the bottom of the Windscreen. Then the distance between the LH/RH wipers should be 15-20 mm

iv tried doing something like that but they seem to hit each other

daft question but does it matter which side wiper sits on the top? as iv seen some which are the opposite of how mine are.

Sitting in the car, the left hand wiper should be on top.
