Is there any reason why one wiper on the 32x units is always vertical? Pretty sure both were horizontal when new...

Its irritating because on the 300's they don't sync up when running, but on 400's each side is individually controlled

Also, when two units are coupled together, one of the wipers always seems to fold away from the screen. I assume this is down to air turbulence.

On the non driver side there is a forward facing camera. If that wiper is horizontal like the drivers then it blocks some of the cameras view.

I was living in Watford when they were introduced and always, always thought that when working in multiple they had some clever form of computer comms going through attached windscreen wipers rather than the coupling. I never imagined it was due to wind!
