I'm having a nightmare fitting this linkage.

It's all in place, and seems to work, but I'm having problems.

The passenger side arm can move about 3 inches whilst the drivers side stays in the same position. This means that the wiper will sometimes come up before the drivers side and they collide or it will come too far down and hit the scuttle panel. Sometimes both happen.

And the drivers side arm comes down about an inch before it goes up.

I've tried adjusting everything, but no joy in fixing it.

Does anyone have a decent picture of the linkage fitted to the motor?

I have a few pictures of how it is fitted on that car which I sahll upload a little later.

One final point, the free wiper blades that come with the link are rubbish. made of cheap metal that flexes a lot. Hard "top quality wipers blades" as Dave states in the sticky.

i found the blades to be great, cleaned the screen good and lasted ages, how can you say they are rubbish if you havent used them yet?
the bit that bolts onto the motor can take a bit of playing with to get the it right

Because as I said, it does kinda work.

The rubber is fine, but the metal is shoddy, really flimsy and the plastic clips are too small I've had to tape them on to stop them sliding off.

I've tried for about 5 hours in total to get it to work properly. No joy at all.

my wipers sit like this https://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/data/621/DSCF2501.JPG

To me, that doesn't seem right.

They don't look like they are parked correctly.

Do you have any pics of the fitted linkage?

only fitted to the car, that wont be much help as its the bit that bolts to the motor thats important, ive got the wiper so it goes right up to the A piller on drivers side other wise in bad rain you get a blind spot there that anoyed me

But the position on the motor wouldn't affect that passenger side arm moving freely.

That is the problem I am having. The drivers arm works perfectly.

i messed about ages untill i moved the bit conected to the motor, then it was quick,
any way just been out and took some more picks for you, its dark n wet out there

Position looks the same as the one I fitted.

As I say, it works ok, just because the passenger arm can move freely, it hits the scuttle panel.
Can you move your passenger side wiper arm up and down?

what you mean is there play or take it off and move it?

that bit in my pic 2 looks lower than yours

Play, look at my pic, I moved the wiper up and down and the drivers side stayed complete still, I can't move the rivers side at all.

That probably because of the movement in the wiper arm. I can get it to sit in that position.

All sorted now. I phoned the chap and explained the problem.

It turns out that for some reason the arms were the wrong length so he gave me the measurements and I adjusted them both to the right length.

Works perfectly.
