They thud because the angle is set wrong Stan... Exaggerated if the blades are worn out |

Can you get the "flat" style wipers for the FFRR. I have had these on my last couple of cars as both retrofit and OEM and have generally found them much better than the older style traditional blade.

Rej, No flat blades for the front of the FFRR , you can get them for the rear if you choose to.

bend the wiper arm in a bit so there's more wiper blade 'contact' with the glass.. ... - .- -.

You will probably find that the pivot on the rear wiper arm is siezed - when I got mine, the rear wiper only cleared the centre of the screen, and when the wiper was parked, if you looked up under the spoiler you could se that the bleade was not sitting on the glass, but was about an inch proud. Turned ignition on, operated rear wiper, and turned ignition off when the blade was vertical on the window - sure enough, the arm pivot was siezed solid.

sorry for the extremely daft question in advance, but I can't for the life of me work out where you measure the angle of the wiper from - i.e. what are the things marked by the red arrow in the pic below.
