Wipers

Post by Vonlipvig » Wed Aug 23, 2017 7:52 pm

MOT next week and I was a bit hesitant around the wipers, didn't want to fail for something stupid so got some Bosch Super Plus 21/21JS. Question is, when fitting the passenger side, which can go either way with no indication of which is correct unless I'm being a tool. One way the ends of the blade are off the windscreen, the other way they are flush and push the water onto the drivers side at the top with the drivers one then pulling in down.

Any ideas which way round is correct? I'm leaning towards having them flush :?

Where did you get them from?

Halfords Bosch super plus wipers are slightly different sizes, 21/20 I think...

If its the curved blade for the passenger side you are talking about just fit it the way that looks right.
I just fitted these and had to look at it a few times to figure out which way round it went.
Seem to work great once fitted and Im sure the curve goes upwards if that makes sense.
They were both 21" too.

Glad it wasn't just me! Yeh curve upwards makes sense and is the way i've gone too. Thanks cor the input! I hope it stays dry and don't have to test them too soon
