UK RHD Windscreen Wipers - Overwipe

[ohmikeguard]

Hi Guys,

Is anyone else having an issue where the driver's side windscreen wiper overwipes on a RHD S550 off the glass and hits the paint work?

Any thoughts would be great.

Mine did that from the factory but easy enough to adjust the position. You just need to remove the arm from the spindle and set it slightly lower in the parked position, but make sure it still clears the bonnet.

IMPORTANT: you will need a spindle puller to get the arm off or you risk damaging the mechanism. Most cars these days need a similar tool to get the arm off. Make sure you protect the wiper arm paintwork.
