Wiper positioning

yxalitis · 09-09-2010, 07:44 PM

OK guys, quick one here...
I recently upgraded my 2005 320i to a 2006 build, 2007 compliance 320d, all is good and well, extra torque is very nice, but one thing that is different is where the wiper blade stops on the upstroke. Most E90's I have driven wipe almost all the way to the A-Pillar, stopping perhaps an inch or less, leaving a nice, wide area clear for me to, you know, see out of.
This car's wiper stops at least 3 inches away, and when that wipe carried a bunch of leaf debris, or suds from the washer fluid, it means I lose quite a bit of visibility until it clears.
Is this something I can easily adjust myself, or is it a dealer visit?

Thanks in advance!

Bump?

One last BUMP, and then I'm done...

Really, does No-ONE know anything about this??

Took into a BMW dealer, they took about 5 minutes to adjust the position.
Done!

So what type of adjustment did they do? Is it a DIY thing or is some tool required?

Aah, but you're wrong,. you see!

It was a simple case of undo nut, rotate wiper, redo nut, if i'd known that, I'd still have taken it in, as they just did it for me for free!!
