View Full Version : Wipers set for LHD
Didn't think I'd ever say this about the Altea but the wipers are set for left hand drive. As the passenger side wiper returns to the park position last the tip of the wiper leaves a line across the screen which is on the drivers side in the UK.
I've not really looked at how the wipers work on the Altea, I assume its very different from a standard wiper set up. I wonder whether the wiper sequence could be changed? Anyone any thoughts on this?

This is not uncommon, many Renaults for example have wipers that are not optimized for RHD

Yeah that last drop is annoying. Think one extra wipe does it mind you.
