It's probably not helped by the 'wilco' own brand flat blade which is about an inch too long and goes over the windscreen surround a bit at times.
I did modify a blade but as I didn't glue the end which stops it from falling apart back on it err, fell apart. Luckily Wilkinson's don't pay much attention when you take stuff back for a free replacement :rolleye:
 
Had to get a picture of mine to remember what it looks like, yours definitely parks higher.

EDIT: For some reason its gone sideways on the forum, I would resolve this but you can just tilt your head/computer

Tilt an iPhone and it tilts away from you - those with old whiplash injuries can't tilt their heads either so this is discrimination! Anyway stop being lazy & making the thread untidy :nono: :D

Does your rear one work? :devil:

My blade on the rear needs replacing but after reading what a faff it is to replace the rear blade I'll just leave it. Use the rear wiper blade about once a month anyway.

Rear wipers fine.

Is yours an all in one type?

I always used to buy the blade kits for all my wipers but not seen any about recently.
Wipers appear cheaper these days anyway, apart from Bosch :rolleyes:

Picture is the right way up on my iPhone and on the computer when I copied it across, just went sideways on upload to the forum :confused:

Why is it a faff to change:confused: Just the same as the front one.

Rear wipers fine.

There was a thread a while ago about having to change the whole thing, I'm not bothered about replacing it, as I said use the rear wiper once in a blue moon.
 
the one on the back of the marbella gets used ALL the time...

to be fair.. the one on Talon is only used once when it rains. i have no idea why fiat made the rear wiper constant. a very slow intermittent would have sufficed.

Talon is using the drivers side wiper arm from off a cinquecento. that sits really nice. you can even get it to sit flush with the windscreen rubber surround.
sadly... you need a bolt on spline to use a cinq's wiper arm.. sorry CLS..
