On the ones i fitted they had a small plastic tab to peel off near the mounting point, this faces up when fitted and turns yellow when too old. You can just about make out the square if you look along the length of the wiper.

I adjusted the angle of the arm (by slightly bending them first one way, which made them worse, then the other - as suggested in earlier post).
Worked a treat.
Such a simple thing!
Ian ..so what can I fiddle with today that ain't broken ...?

Yep, twisting is a better work than bending!
Either bend towards the bonnet, or towards the glass. ..so what can I fiddle with today that ain't broken ...?
