Rover S2 wiper blade

[Caligarinet]

Just fitted a Bosch AR24U wiper blade as recommended on various sites. 

It’s not clearing the screen in the centre of the blade, googling found someone else with similar issue, but not found a solution. 

Any recommendations?

Seems I may need a different wiper arm, part number A117MO105F

anyone done this swap?

Well seems I already have the updated arm as it’s a u-shaped hook design and the AR24U fits but just doesn’t clear the screen.

Have you tried giving the arm a gentle bend towards/away from the screen? I had the same thing some years ago and a slight tweak to the arm solved the problem, trouble is I can’t remember which way I went with it🙄

I did the same, it worked, but can’t remember which way either! There is a post on Seloc explaining which way, which is where I educated myself!

I did think about trying to bend the arm. 

Ended up exchanging it for a traditional sprung blade that is doing the job.

Thanks for advice.
