I will say, having had it altered on my car, the wiper mechanism protrudes across the drivers-side vent. You may or may not like that, because it blocks airflow and looks a bit 'wrong'. No idea how it was done though, ask Spanners

As the title says really. How do I get the wipers to park on the opposite site. I know its something to do with turning something 180 degrees? |

yes, the car. Turn it round 180 degrees and the wipers will be the other side. In all seriousness, can somebody (maybe you sam?) take some pictures and do a little write up of the process please? |

Sam, take the whole linkage unit out and you should be able to work it out. It really is just a case of undoing the spigot that the 2 linkages attach to and then turning it 180 degrees as you suggest. |

On a 2CV, using some keyhole (or should that be vent flap?) surgery, it's possible to switch the wipers over. No such luck on any other A series model, though... ken |

I've booked some time off at the end of the month to fettle so after I've done the king pins I might have a go at this. The seal on my new vent flap is bulging because I did it up too tightly so will have a go at remedying that too. Sam |
