Rear Wiper goes too far

[Whitty_77]

Hi All

My first post here, owned my A3 for a couple of years now.

My Rear wiper sits on the paintwork when resting and when I wipe it goes too far on the other side too and touched the paintwork.  Any ideas what this might be?

 

Thanks

Has it always behaved like this? Have you changed the wiper motor perhaps? The last time I opened a wiper motor (a few decades ago,) the arm travel was fixed by the size of the linkage within.

no, never touched it before.  it drops lower when I close boot.   Ive seen loads of a3 with the wiper sitting on the paintwork so it must be a common thing
