Wiper Blades over running screen

Keithark · 07-31-2023, 01:58 AM

I’ve just picked up my M850i convertible (2020), the windscreen wipers seem to overrun on the driver side sweep.
They seen him the end past the screen and make a noise as the hit something.
I had an 840i coupe before and definitely didn’t have this issue.
Is the an adjustment at all to reduce the travel of the wiper blades?
It’s a U.K. version by the way?

Sounds like the wrong blade(s) have been installed!

Like Seaford said or they could be off a tooth if they were removed say by techs doing windshield work etc... Can you share a pic of how low they sit on the off position?

If you want replacements don’t pay BMW price - the correct Bosch set is half the price. A144 S and you’ll get them in most Halfords.

Thanks for the info as I'm about due for a new set given the heat here in AZ wreaks havoc on the rubber.

No worries. Don’t have that issue in the north east of England
