Can't find correct spline position for Mk4 wiper arm
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2018 3:48 pm
The passenger's side wiper arm on my Mk 4 rests exactly parallel with the lower edge of the windscreen, nicely out of sight. But the driver's side wiper arm is problematic to position correctly. In the one position, it points downwards and contacts the plastic shield at the bottom of the windscreen. If I turn the spline fitting one tooth further, then it actually points slightly upwards and the resting position is too high, so that it's clearly visible.
Can one actually try to fit the spline cone tooth-to-tooth? That doesn't seem like the right thing to do. The connecting rods of the mechanism aren't adjustable for length, otherwise I would have tried that.
Any advice appreciated.
