You'd think with all the gadgets LR put on the cars, one of the options would be' wiper change' which would do a similar think to the winter mode but just put them say half way up the windscreen instead and also stop the rear one in the vertical position. Having the winter mode shows that it would be easily possible. Steve

Hi Keith So do you have the engine running whilst changing the wipers or is it the start button without pushing the brake pedal so that electrics come on but engine doesn't start? Steve

I did the rear wiper by turning them on, then turn the ignition off when it's at the bottom of it's stroke, it then stays there...

Hi Pete, yes, believe they are, they've got 'clever' now and when the engine is turned off, they still go back to their normal stop position. Steve

You say you got these Bosch Blades from Ebay - price is good - but did they fit? My front blades are both 24" Are you talking about a L405 or the earlier L322? |

Speedy reply but still doesn't explain why you seem to have one 24" wiper and one 20" wiper when my L405 uses two 24" blades |

Mines a 2013 and has one longer than the other, thanks for the info on the Bosch ones, I wasn't sure if it was a special fitment or not |

Checked mine and the drivers side is 24" and passenger side 20" as per Alistair's. Mines a late 2013 car (MY 2014). If you put a 24" on my passenger side, I reckon it would just miss touching the edge of the drivers wiper and just miss the 'A' column. So, maybe someone has fitted the 24" passenger one in error or maybe to clean more of the screen as I can't see LR having modified the wiper assembly at this stage. @Hobo729 - do your wiper almost meet in the middle when stationary?
