Technical Passenger side wiper hitting window frame

[doggydoctor]

Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with the passenger (left) side windscreen wiper hitting the inside of the window frame, causing the paint to come off and bar metal showing.
The wipers I have are the recommended Valeo wipers for the panda 4x4. The passenger side is 16". Has anyone else noticed this? Do I just need a shorter wiper or is something out of alignment?

You can remove the little cap, there is a bolt under need, remove that, then pull off the wiper and place it back in a better position, bolt back on, cap back on.
Max 10 minutes work.

To help you (or the factory!) set the wipers in the right place to start with, there are marks on the windscreen glass they should line up with, like this

Here's the passenger side one, and then the wiper sitting on it. As The Pretender says, unbolt the arm and move it round a click or two on the 'splines' of the mounting bolt to hit these marks... (ah ha, the iPhone classic 'upside down photo syndrome' - oh well, I think you can see what I mean!)

Looking at wiper blades in Halfords the other day, (my driver side one getting a bit streaky) the parts listing here for Bosch wipers says 24" drivers and 15" (not 16) on the passenger side. Same on this site too: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/fiat-panda-years-2012-to-2015/bosch-a293s-aerotwin-wiper-blade/

Check before buying non fiat wiper blades. I tried an aftermarket one, and the adaptor made the wiper arm a lot further away from the screen. This ruins the sleek look imo.
This may or may not bother you? It bothered me.
