The wiper linkage seems a bit loose to me. The drivers side wiper floats about if you waggle it (this makes the arm skip across screen). There's a small plastic trim piece behind the scuttle that is loose and just spins around, should this be retained in the scuttle? Has it perhaps lost a mounting point?

the plastic piece not the rubber piece to stop the water running on the linkage? the bit that doesnt work!!! there not connected to anything
the linkage is connected to the car, not the scuttle so if it is loose then you need to get under the panel, but the mounting points have rubber bushings so there is always a bit of flex and maybe nothings wrong.
if it aint broke dont mess with it, my scuttle panel still isnt sitting properly after i had to change my linkage

Its more than a bit of flex. I know the linkage is/should be attached to the car, I just had it in mind the plastic bit held it in position relative to the scuttle.... :undecided: Where are the linkage mounting points mate? Got a pic?

Got no pics, but once you have the panel off there right in front of you, could mean the rubber has perished or the linkage is shot
