R56 Mini Cooper 2007 - Mini Cooper nearside wiper blade not flush - IrishNeil

hi everyone

I've tried two sets of wipers from same company and neither passenger wiper blade sits flush to glass at end of blade, it is slightly raised and prevents clear sweep of screen

- one set was Autocar award winning own brand flat blades and next set were Bosch Super Plus 18" & 19", similar length to original pair on car that were flush fit.

The tension on wiper arm is strong, so thats not the issue.

Vendor has been extremely helpful but I'm now wondering where to purchase the wiper blades.

Thank you in advance

Why would the OP not think about that one, it should be obvious to all but a total idiot.

Interesting thing is when the wifes Ceed needed new blades Halfords wanted almost double what the Kia garage wanted and the service manger himself fitted them FOC.
