Any ideas on how i can stop the Port side window wiper stop overshooting the screen. What happens is the blade goes past and over the window edge and sticks!!! Is this a problem easily adjustable or does it take more work?
As always many thanks in advance for the answer, im sure!!
 
Depending on type, the arm is connected to a driving plate or shaft inside the wiper motor housing. By adjusting the linking arm's fitting distance to the geometrical centre, the angle covered can be changed.

Various layouts, same principle.


Notice the slight difference in mounting holes' distance from centre.

When it goes back the other way, does it stop short ? Can you not just remove the whole arm and move it on the spline ?
 
I have an MF705, and had similar problems. Probably all you need to do is raise the cap at the bottom, loosen off and reposition slightly, then re-tighten. It took me a significant amount of trial and error to get it right.

I have found my wipers cope with rain, but a good wave will knock them totally off position, and can dislodge the blade section from the arm.

I would guess that wiper design has passed Jeanneau by for the MF range!

If your wipers are the same as the 805/925 you should not be able to loosen the nut and move the arm. It should be on a tapered spline and shouldn't really move. Perhaps the splines in the arm are worn and you need a new arm. Same with the blade, it should be clipped into place and shouldn't come loose.
