    Default Wiper pattern - help

    This is a strange one. I replaced the old Valeo wiper blades back in the summer with Bosch areoblades. At the time I don't recall any issues. More recently I swapped out the original washer jets for the updated spray pattern ones. It was soon after that I noticed that every time I used the wash/wipe I would get an annoying dribble of water right in front of my line of vision.

    Initially I thought it must be something to do with the aim of the new washer jets, but then I noticed that the wiper pattern makes it inevitable that this will happen. How did I never notice this in the summer?

    Anyway a picture describes it better than I can.

    Is this a normal wiper pattern for the Vec C? Looking at the whole pattern, it would seem possible to design out that little "valley" above the drivers line of vision. Or is it a fault in the wiper blade sizing?

    Until I check mine I’d go with blade length, although being a Vxr set up it tends to understeer more
