Hi Peter. Success! I placed a block under the arm halfway between the spindle and knuckle and pushed down on the arm about 3 times.Visually i couldn't see any difference until i closed the bonnett and hey presto the gap appeared. When testing the wiper movement the "clunk" as it hit the underside edge of the bonnett had disapeared as there was now a gap,but the blade now hit the side of the windscreen slightly so i just removed it,repositioned and tested successfully. I think the wiper system must wear over time which may cause the arm to clip the bonnett. Anyway i can say it was easier than i thought it would be. The suggestion for this procedure came from the JEC Forum. Well now for a clean of my little beauty. Best Regards Graham

Hi , yesterday i used the Meguiars kit on mine after trying other products. My headlights came up very well and was pleased with the first attempt,as my lenses were heavily stained. Graham

Hi Peter, many thanks for having a look. I will have a go at bending the arm later,drizzling at the moment,but will not try and force it. I have a trusted mechanic in Hinckley so if i am unsuccessful i will take it to him to have a look. I will post back later today. Thank You Graham

Hi Peter, thanks for that. I have just read on another forum that this seems to be a fairly regular occurence and it was suggested that you could put something underneath the arm to support it and slowly push on it to bend it back down. I am a bit clumsy when it comes to things like this,so i am a bit wary of doing it. Thanks again Graham

Hi guys, well as the title suggests i have been having this problem for a little while and just wondered if anyone else has had the same,it seems to catch on the knuckle of the arm,if so could you please tell me in a "noddy" guide as i am a bit thick when it comes to diy. I assume the arm can be bent,but should i bend upwards,should i leave the arm on the car to do it or take it off. The passenger side is fine with a lot of clearence. Many Thanks Graham

Peter thanks very much i will contact him. Regards Graham

Thank you for the welcome Peter. Where can i find the Club Sticker? Regards Graham

Hi everyone, been a Jaguar owner for many years of various models and now the proud owner of a 2004 S Type purchased for £810 last June 2013. Never had an S type before but certainly not regretting it. Will post pics very soon.
