Not updated in ages. Basically, nothings happened
Passed MOT today, no advisories again, which is good to know.
Car got pretty dirty due to a combination of country lanes and shockingly bad weather.
Just changed the wipers today but went for a 19'' instead of 20'' for the passenger side as the standard size causes them to overlap the scuttle panel. Very strange.
On reflection, I could've gone to an 18'', although it's better than it was.
Before:
After:
Few red sports seats have come up on ebay, getting an itch that I may need to scratch, but home ownership takes a lot of my disposable income, especially when things break!
Sorry my update is rather boring.

Yeah, loads of people on the forum seem to have an issue with it. Not really sure on the in's and out's, but everyone that has properly functioning wipers have the overlap of the passenger wiper.

Issues are crappy aftermarket blades.
Had Bosch ones (oem) on mine and they where perfect. Decided to try flat blades when the Bosch ones snapped in cold weather (my fault) and went with Valeo.
Fitment is shit with a slightly similar problem to yours. They offer zero advantage over the Bosch ones and I wouldn't fit them again.
That said, I put a set on the Jeep and they where ok, but that was probably down to the 1997 rubber on the originals (!) on the car before I changed.

People on corrado forum tell me to trim wiper down. Like t
You can take the ends off, cut it and put the end back on. I didn't try it as mine seemed to fit fine.

You can see the mark on the sideskirt where I kept getting my work trousers dirty everytime I got out of it
And yes, aftermarket wiper blades are shite. I only bought them as one was buggered and dragged across the screen. These will last 6 months before they're due a change. Will get proper old school style ones then.
I just hate the way the older ones look.

Don't get why people don't give their lights and number plates a quick wipe when their car is that dirty. Takes two seconds.

Laziness mostly. Just couldn't be bothered. Also don't want to carry a dirty cloth around with me.

They're £195 deposit, £195 month, 24 months now. Getting seriously tempted
Only thing stopping me is the abundance of them in works car park.

Get some PIAA wipers and be done with it. Mine are fantastic.
I'm sure my wipers are sat correctly. Don't see how a saggy arm is correct

Employee deal only. If they asked me to pay 4k deposit i'd laugh in their face.
Currently trying to persuade the missus to trade her pink one in for an st when the 9 months are up.

Yep, they're amazing little hatches, but I wouldn't get rid of the Z4 for one, hence trying to persuade the missus, so I can drive it about
