C4 Picasso wiper arm position

[RichardW]

Slight troubles here...

Took the wiper arms off as part of changing the fuel and air filters, but can't seem to get them back in the right position, and they are clashing. Anyone know where they are supposed to be aligned? Service box is not helpful as it just says refit and check operation!!

hi on a c4 hatchback window screen there's some black dots mere the bottom about a inch in you have to line the wipers up with them might be the same worth a look

Yes most windscreens have alignment marks on them to set the wiper position.
You’ve not mixed them up & put them on the wrong side have you?

Fixed it, put them back in the service position and driver's side was well down the screen, put it back on vertical and seems to work OK now. No idea what happened.... Can't put these on the wrong way , they would be wiping the top of the engine

Now if someone knows how to get the sensing pipe off the air filter lid, I could do it without removing them next time.... Probably the diesel filter too now I know how to get the two part clip on the inlet undone - YouTube help required to find out you need to LIFT the tiny tab in the centre first...

Just had an issue with one wiper arm being out of position after having a new windscreen fitted. I tried to realign the arm by taking it off the motor spindle, moving it to the correct position on the screen and refixing it. When turning the wipers on they clashed together and ended up in a worse position than they were originally. Tried moving the other arm to what I thought was the correct position - still they clashed. After removing and refitting the arms multiple times I was no further forward. I decided to remove both arms, (you need a very small wiper arm removal tool as the bonnet gets in the way, I used one from Hilka), then I switched the wipers on then off until the motors were in the 'park' position. Refitted both arms and aligned them with the marks on the windscreen, taking care not to move the motor spindles from the park position - hey presto, perfect wiper arms with no clashing.
