What length wipers are you using?

I'm running 18" Bosch Aeroblades (The ones I replaced were 18"), but the driver's side knocks the A-pillar on the up :roll: The wiper arms can't be adjusted any lower either. I've even bought a 16" blade to try and even that knocks.

Anyone know if there's any adjustment to be made cam linkage or anything under the skuttle panel?

It knocks so hard I can feel it through the pedals! :?

The first time it happened I thought it was suspension related. Even had all four corners up in the air before a long journey the other weekend just to check :lol:

Both of my 3rd Gens did this :lol:
Just got a smaller blade and adjusted the wiper arms settle position.

Yeah my settled position is so low that occasionally it knocks at the bottom just before it goes up :lol:

Mine does it too, Its always been fitted with the same spec. bosch blades as yours, so considered it normal, but no backlash through the pedals.
