Defender 300tdi wipers
« on: June 26, 2011, 10:39:57 AM »
Is there any adjustment for the arc of the stroke for the front wipers on a 300tdi defender. My arc is too wide so it goes over the windscreen frame on the drivers side, the other end of the stroke is ok.
1994 Defender 90
2016 D4 Graphite

  • I'm not completely daft. Some pieces are missing.

If its like mine then the problem is the grub-screw holding the arm to the spindle. Its got a pointed end rather than a flat and after a while the arm starts to flop about on the spindle, grind it flat and tighten it right up.....then do it again a month later...
Other than that, no there is no adjustment that I know of. The old lock nut on to a splined spindle from older models was better engineering IMHO.
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....
