Wiper position
 
My passenger wiper seems to not go low enough when the wind shield is relatively dry (rainning light). The blade on the passenger side never hit the bottom of the windshield. Also when it stops it leaves a gap that i can see out. But when the windshield get wetter. It'll be able to go down lower but still it seems to be slightly higher than when i lift the arm up and reposition it.

Any one have this problem?

Yes its cos your screen isnt wet enough and your blade has some flex in it,.. now counter this with the fact that the blade is nice and thin so you can see past it where ever it lands on your screen, and is efficient at what it does .. invented and adopted by others before BMW IMO .. what is your problem ? Some people are so anal :rolleyes:

my problem is that it leaves an ungly gap. It's not just the blade, the whole arm is higher, it is above the dot matrix by like 1 cm at the edge of the windshield. I try to not use it now unless it is wet enought

I am just trying to see if this is normal or not.

My passenger side windshield wiper blade doesn't go completely down even when it's raining. It NEVER goes down completely, so it's ALWAYS visible from the driver's seat.

I tried to force the blade to move down, but it wouldn't budge.

I thought I was the only one with this problem... I still have it worse though...
