Wipers overlapping? -_-

[Nathan-HxC]

I bought some flat-blade wipers off of eGay that were 20" driver's side, and 18" passenger side, fitted them and in the middle of the window, the top of the drivers wiper overlaps the bottom of the passenger wiper?

What size wipers do I need so that they can sit level with each other and not overlap?!

2 x 18"'s?

Cheers

That's odd, I've got a 20" and an 18" on mine, they're fine? :/ not sure what could be happening there..

have you put them on the right side.
20" on passenger side
18" on drivers side

havent taken your wiper arms off at any point have you?

[Nathan-HxC]

If you look you can see in the middle where they overlap?

They're on the wrong way round. The shorter one goes on the drivers side if you have aero blades.

The passenger one does lip up off the windscreen slightly, all of them with Aero blades do. It still works when the wiper moves as it touches the rest of the windscreen.

Ahh, I thought it was the other way around due to the lift off of the passenger side one when it had the 20" on, thanks I'll switch them around

It's ok! I thought the same thing - the passenger side does lift off slightly. I'd love to know a pair of aero blades that don't do this. They're fine when they move though.

Maybe 2x 18"s would be okay? Might be worth a try

id say wiper arms look wrong, should be the shorter one on the drivers side

OH! My bad sorry, I completely mis-read!

He has a point - if the blades don't sit right check the arms!

[Liamjrhodes]

its just that looking at the picture of his the arms look like the longer one is on the drivers side when it should be shorter one

arms: longer one on drivers side, shorter one on passenger side.
blades: just swap them over lol. cos on mine the longer one is on the drivers side.
