Sportscoupe wiper

[dirth]

Hope this is in the right section

The passenger side wiper is missing on the sweep , the centre when the wipers are parked isn't touching the screen.
any other car I'd just bend the arm to apply more centre pressure.
I'd welcome any suggestions
it's 55 plate c220 sportscoupe w203??

could be either the arm pressure is too weak OR the wiper blade joints are stiff.

cheapest is bend it but you could cause damage.......

its better to try a new blade.. try aeroflat blades on ebay as its a lot cheaper than an arm

I thought that but the pressure at the ends of the blade are quite high

the wiper blade joints are stiff.

they seems free enough.
In older time before complicated wipers you moved the spring at the spindle

cheapest is bend it but you could cause damage.......

probably wisest not to bend it

Aeroflat blades are really good and aren't expensive either!

Looking at the wiper, about 50mm on either side of blade to arm isn't sitting right,distance wise both my car and a pal's c220 saloon windscreen to arm look the same

I'm thinking the lot including linkages needs to come off and put back on in order to reset as factory

AeroFlats?? looked at them on a Q5, and wasn't too impressed
