Arona Wiper arm Position?

[sidknee]

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.

Thank you.

The blades are supposedly original fitted OEM They are totally wrecked by the first owner of the car and they act like they have had 2-3 years constant use with a totally appalling wipe, judder, smear & missing water in the same wipe.

Considering the previous owner had the car new in January 2025 and returned it before April 2025, the amount of wear is unacceptable. You could have easily said the blades were used all the time to wipe a dry screen - the screen is perfect condition despite a surface scratch.

I will be buying BOSCH blades as I always have used BOSCH in 39 years of driving. Others say these are fine...

I've had the car since end of April, it never rained and the blades are as bad now as they were then. Considering the previous owner returned this car as it was "to small" (sales man confirmed this) and they left themselves as Primary User and may have done something that has stopped the me from becoming one, I seriously think the more I have this car the more issues I will have with it. Its going to the Dealer a week Monday for a week to have a new information screen unit and god knows what else they will find wrong with a car that had 1247 miles on it when I bought it and has just done 2500 today.

Very displeased with the Dealership and will probably return to Hyundai.

For point of interest - these are the wipers from a July 2024 manufactured MY25 FR Ltd Edition.
The car was originally sold in January 2025 and I bought it in April 2025.
Bearing in mind it hardly rained from April til to September, that is an awful amount of wear for a couple of months. If it didn't say SEAT on the blade then I would have thought they were from some knock off shop in China.

Probably got solar damage. Certainly people dont like non Bosch blades but then others say other brands are fine and Bosch are rubbish. Given they designed some of the wiper systems for Vag if not all of them, Bosch know what they are doing. Probably not Bosch blades if printed with Seat on them.
