Thudding with front wiper drivers side

[matthew1988]

Hi all.

I have an annoying thudding noise on my t6 from my front wiper, on the drivers side. It seems to be when the wipers change direction to do back down towards the bottom of the windscreen. It's been there since I've had the van but only noticing it more recently as I've had my van back from the repairers after a smash back in march. It even happens with the new wiper blades I've put on. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi,
Make sure the wiper arms are on the right way round.
Mine were accidentally put back the wrong way round and it resulted in the drivers side wiper hitting the A-pillar at the top of the stroke.

From the hinge, to the blade attachment point the driver's arm is 50cm. Passenger is 56

Thank you ever so much for the info. You were right, why on earth I didn't think of it I don't know. Thank you.

Took me over a 1000 miles and missing A-pillar paint to realise as it was new to me
