I noticed this morning that one of the wipes wasn't going down as quick as the other one, has anyone else noticed this?

Oh no!

Will keep an eye on mine and let you know

Noticed they drag unless the windows are fully wet and that they work full time when in reverse.

No but it sounds as though it would be really irritating. Have you been back to the dealer about it.

(on a tangent here - I will sort out pics soon of my Clubman)

Not had time to book it in yet but hubby going to ring them tomorrow. Needs the switch for heated front screen looking at too as it doesn't turn on properly.

I'm now on rear wiper watch now lol. I noticed that the right one was slightly (but just slightly) behind the left but I think that was down to what Shaun was saying above. Hope you get it sorted Gemini - that would drive me bonkers!

Guys forget about rear wipers being ever so slightly out of sink otherwise you will all be claiming for a new front clam after rear ending some poor innocent victim in front of you

Good point but I was stationary in the comfort of my own drive when I checked as I would imagine everyone else was.

Noticed this on the 24 hr test drive I had in a MCC a few weeks ago...was ever so slightly disappointing as it's one of the most noticeable features about the back end.

Hope mine's ok when I pick it up in a few weeks

SUre it will be though

M111 CGC · Jan 8th, 2008, 06:20 PM

Yup, ours is the same on occasions but if you are really worried about it then I think you should seek advice - from a shrink but not a Mini dealer!!

I was on the drive when I noticed this.

Having trouble getting Mini to look at it, as the service dept is fully booked, going to try another dealership to see if there as busy.

I know its only a minor thing but once you know it happens you see it all the time while driving.

While we are on this subject - I also noticed that the passenger door window doesn't go up as high as the drivers door, we went and had a look at the other models the dealer had in the show room and they are all the same so this must be how its made now. Sorry dont mean to worry anyone.
