S-type - changing wiper blades...
Discussion
Hi all,
Got my first Jag last week, not a daily but to be used as a general run-about as I am lucky enough to work within walking distance from work. It's an 02-plate, 100K miles 3.0 petrol, stamped-up JSH book, 11 months MOT etc and for the brief period I've driven it seems a lovely place to be to waft around in. Even starting to love the wood-a-like interior despite being mid-30's!!
My one gripe was that the wipers were crap so bought some new blades and headed honme to fit them. Not usually a problem but the wiper arms only lift about 3 inches from the screen before fouling on the rear bonnet edge - this makes it seemingly impossible to get the old blades off and the new ones on.
Is there a service poistion you can put the wipers in to stop them in a better position or is there something else I am missing?
Any pointers gratefully received before it rains
