| Windscreen Wiper Gone Off the Screen |
|
I was driving along yesterday in the rain with the wipers going, when all of a sudden the Drivers side wiper
when beyond the edge of screen and stuck on the A post trim! 
Now the Drivers side wiper only does half its normal wipe 
Has anyone else had this happen before and what is the usual fix?
As the wagon is under warranty will be contacting LR in the morning!

Will just be loose on the taper.
Easy fix, just reposition and tighten up.

Kil try not to use the wipers till you re-align and tighten up like Ronp says. Otherwise you can wear done the knurled peg under the arm and its a sod to tighten enough to be long lasting

Compacted snow at the end of the downward stroke can cause this  Just tighten as mentioned 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
