Thanks Nate

i did have them on the wrong way round :blush: but i changed it and it's no better! :ire:

the problem is that instead of being flat they are curved and don't touch the screen properly in the middle leaving a large manky bit! :dunno:

they're meant to be curved, so that the edges are pushed against the screen.

are the springs in your wiper arms nice and strong, and the pivots move nice and free?
