Hi all,

When my windscreen wipers wipe they are fine wiping at the top but when they reach the bottom they go off the window by about an inch.

Is there any way of adjusting them?

Cheers,

Charlie

The arms are splined onto the wiper spindles.

Lift the arms up away from the screen and for want of a better word 'wriggle' them off. Then simply push them back in the right place.

Be careful the springs are very strong.

also under the arm on the spindle there is a small clip, lift this clip and the arms will fly off easy

Cheers guys, I will try to fix them.

However when the wipers are in the up position they stop in the right place, if i move then as you instruct I might get the same problem but when the wipers are at the top????
