Hi. Quick question. Does your wiper linkage have much play? I can move mine approx 8 inches up the screen from the parked position.
Also when I have the wipers going, sometimes they travel too far and hit the A pillar. Similarly, on occasion they don’t travel the full distance by a few inches? Any ideas?

hi joe there's something definitely suspect with your wipers my first j10 never moved even when lifting to clean windscreen sounds like the splined shafts on windscreen wiper mounts are worn or either the gears in the motor hope you get it sorted
