 How do I make my wipers park t'other side? As the title says really. How do I get the wipers to park on the opposite site. I know its something to do with turning something 180 degrees?

Re: How do I make my wipers park t'other side? yes, the car. Turn it round 180 degrees and the wipers will be the other side.
In all seriousness, can somebody (maybe you sam?) take some pictures and do a little write up of the process please?

Re: How do I make my wipers park t'other side? Sam, take the whole linkage unit out and you should be able to work it out. It really is just a case of undoing the spigot that the 2 linkages attach to and then turning it 180 degrees as you suggest.

Re: How do I make my wipers park t'other side? I will say, having had it altered on my car, the wiper mechanism protrudes across the drivers-side vent. You may or may not like that, because it blocks airflow and looks a bit 'wrong'. No idea how it was done though, ask Spanners

Re: How do I make my wipers park t'other side? On a 2CV, using some keyhole (or should that be vent flap?) surgery, it's possible to switch the wipers over. No such luck on any other A series model, though... ken

I've booked some time off at the end of the month to fettle so after I've done the king pins I might have a go at this. The seal on my new vent flap is bulging because I did it up too tightly so will have a go at remedying that too. Sam
