Just want to check the correct position of the wiper arms on MY25 Arona FR ltd edition

The drivers wiper arm appears low compared to the wiper marking on the windscreen, can anyone compare their windscreen to mine please?
For reference the passenger wiper arm is a little bit higher.

I just want to check as this might be the cause of the poor wiping function with Seat wipers - obviously Bosch replacements are longer on the passenger side and I don't want them to interfere and cause any damage to the car.

As you can see the images the upper end of the blade arm is lower than the marking on the glass. There is also a fair amount of play in the driver wiper blade that is not present in the passenger blade.

The passenger wiper always judders when wiping starts and the driver wiper seems to stick slightly and miss a section in the middle of my line of sight. Considering car was made in July 2024 and been purchased originally in January then returned a few weeks later, that seems to be a lot of wear in a month, or just shows Seat wiper blades are poor.

FYI if you follow my other post about the issues with the Primary User and keys not being recognised, Im assured the dealer has sourced the replacement infomation module and have chased them again as its been a month since they were going to get me booked in for the third time and probably leave the car with them this time.

That looked like the service position but you probably knew that. If they are the correct blades then you might not have clicked them in all the way. Youd expect the Bosch ones to be fine. Seat did have a reputation that their blades fitted were not as good as Bosch, but some say its changed now. You pay your money and take the choice. Problem is, if the dealer does it, you dont have a choice.

We dont have an issue with our Arona blades. You probably got the wrong blades fitted rather than the mechanism being faulty.
