I have a question about my drivers side front windscreen wiper. When the wipers are in an off position they sit flush against the bottom of the windscreen which is normal.

But when they are on the drivers side doesn't go all the way down and sits about 2 inches higher and bounces a bit. The passenger one still sits as normal in the correct position. It doesn't seem right to me but the garage I brought the car from, ford dealer assured me that it is normal and sits higher when the wipers are active.

It does seem to bounce and wobble slightly when using but I was told this is normal.

Can anyone confirm is there focus does this. Mine is a mk3 focus. I'm guessing the spec has little significance in the use of the wipers.

Any help appreciated

Yeah the wipers have a slightly raised position when in use. They only park when you turn them off or after a certain amount of time of no wiping on auto.

As above, that sounds like normal operation to me.

When in auto mine will sit in that position unless not used for a while then they park themselves.

and mine the same, quite normal, you will get used to it.

the wipers are not linked together like older cars, separate motor on each.

try this, witch ign off, grab one of the wiper arms and move it up to nearly vertical , then the other one move up a little.

switch ign on and wipers on. you will see wipers move independantly

I concurr.

Totally normal with Ford auto wipers.

Thanks for the responses, kinda solves my problem thanks
