Right guys i desperately need some help asap.

I removed my windscreen wipers to check something and now i dont seem to have put them back on correctly - thought nothing of it they will go back on no probs!!

Turned them on and they crashed into each other! oops!! thicko thats me.

To top it off, it' just started p!$$ing it down and im 10 miles from home.

Here's a pic ive just took , how do i fix this??




Cheers.

Do you know what... i don't know!

I don't think so, but i'm hoping someone can tell me what ive done wrong.

Well, i think you cant do that as theres only one screw hole for the single wiper ( left side) think the problems with the driver side one.

the on e of the left does look odd , av u pushed it far enuf down ?
defo looks backward

 

[Leo182]

Pushed it down yeah, but i don't want to force it risking it breaking.

I've looked at some pics of 182's and noticed the drivers side seems to be more or less flush at the bottom of the windscreen, where mine seems to be at a 20/30 degree angle.

Yep the drivers side isn't in the correct home position, its further down than that.

Might be hard to see but you get the idea.

 

[Leo182]

Yep thats exactly what i was thinking bmh.01.

I have been looking at this petrol blue 182 pic which i found in the
Media - Pics & Video section, shows it a little better

Looks as if they both need to go down a bit, can't you just under the nuts and move them down and retighten ?

Hey they are to far up your windscreen, you should start again take them of and turn your ignition on then turn your wipers on and watch to make sure your wiper motor is running, then turn them of making sure the stock is in the of position so the motor stops in the right place (if you had them running before and you just turned the car of and not at the stock, took them of and on again your motor may have been running, this could end up with your wipers hanging over your doors or hitting the bonnet) so just line them up lower down the windscreen you will know what looks tighten the bolts and thats you.
