Hi Guys - I have noticed my drivers side wiper isn't clearing properly, the Bosch blades are only a few months old but incase it was the blade I tried "swopping them over just to see if the passenger blade cleared the window but it doesn't.

When the blade is flat to the screen it is "firm" as it should be but I have noticed when I bend the blade back to wash the windscreen, the spindle area where it goes into the body is very loose.

Any ideas what the problem is and what I need to do to correct. :)

It's a common problem, wear in the Bosch linkage. Easy fix with washers and copper slip. Do a search there's a good how to in this lounge but I'm sorry can't look for a link just now.
