SVA and wipers
scotlad - 1/12/08 at 09:05 AM

I've had a rake through the SVA manual and am struggling to find much that relates to windscreen wipers except that they must be blunted.
Are there rules relating to sweep, parking position etc.
I've got a setup from a mini on my screen but in order to get a decent sweep they have to park a bit up the window on the passanger side. Is this likely to be a problem?? I note in the SVA manual that wipers are not included in the field of view test so maybe that means its not a problem???

Any help appreciated

may I suggest you leave the windscreen off for the SVA and make life a bit easier for yourself

You may- but i'm not going to


Or then again i might........ Its just a few bolts to undo/ redo i suppose. Hmmm i think i might just do that :-)

The wipers on my cobra parked on the passenger side and there wasn't a problem. As long as they work and wipe enough of the screen to allow the drive reasonable forward vision, you should be OK.

Frankly, though, it is easier to SVA without a screen

Second leaving the screen off until after SVA. If you do fit it you also need a de-misting system.
