Zafira wipers

Does anyone else find the unswept area by the drivers side A pillar really
annoying? Not to mention downright dangerous? Emailed Vauxhall and basically
what they're saying is that the wipers are designed for LHD vehicles and
there isn't anything they can do...or is there? Vehicle is 2004 RHD.

 

move the driver seat etc to the LHS ?

There is a fix but was originally only released for 1999 to 2002 years. 2004
year should have been fixed at factory build. It involves changing the wiper
linkage. It can be covered on warranty for vehicles under 3 year old and
mileage less that 100,000 Km. Quote Technical Service Bulletin 1384 at
dealer. No guarantees but worth a try.

From a layperson's view, I would imagine that all they have to do is create
a UK wiper blade arm which would be the mirror image of the existing LHD
one. You would then cure the problem by fitting the RHD 'offset' arm which
would lead the existing straight arm that has now been moved to the other
side.

Note that the new Zafira has RHD wipers!
