Wiper noise

Evening all. A slightly trivial problem (not a 'challenge' or an 'issue'!) now that it has started raining more. The driver's side wiper makes a real clunk as it changes direction at the top of its sweep. Passenger side is fine. I've changed them to flat blade aero stylee - much better cleaning of glass - but still the clunk. I've checked out all the obvious things and it all looks fine and tight, no sloppy connections. Anyone else been bothered by this? or am I just being too fussy?!

Too Fussy....

all it means is as the wiper changes direction, the 'blade' is flipping from one side to the next....maybe a softer blade could help or turn the music up!

Twist wiper arm until wiper blade holder sits square to screen.

I had that on both of my rangies. Did the same as you with blade swap but I never did get it sorted. It was so noisy that at times I chose to drive with intermittent wipe rather than listen to clunk clunk clunk doing my head in.

Why complain? At least they work which is a benefit not often available on much of the Range Rover systems and equipment.

^Lol
sure its not travelling too far and hitting the edge of the glass/frame?

Are they on the right way round, when I got my car there was a clunking noise, turned out the drivers side blade was going off the top of the screen and onto the trim, it had had a new screen fitted and the arms had been put back on the wrong sides, the drivers side is shorter

That is correct. Drivers side wiper arm is different to passenger side. Blades are same both sides.

I had to readjust the arms on mine as the drivers side was two splines out and kept running off of the glass. It is fantastic now.
