Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just replacing the wiper blades on my 996. The passenger one is slightly shorter and curved. Should it be fitted happy or sad, ie curved up or down? Thanks for any advice.

POST 2Original post

I've put mine sad... I have no idea if that's the correct way though, packaging had 0 information on it (Bosch)

POST 3Original post

Mine is 'happy'! Try both, see which works best. I'll have a look at my 996 brochure later as that has a picture IIRC.

POST 4Original post

Think it should be sad, Had to go check,it's happy!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, I've tried both, and sad the ends encroach onto the rubber windscreen surround quite badly. Happy looks better. Unfortunately I took the old blade off without checking. I'll run them and see how they look and perform.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Smiley upward curve is correct as confirmed by OPC (I had called them about another matter not just that!)

POST 7Original post

I just changed mine to happy. Indeed it was fouling on the plastic below the windscreen.

POST 8Original post

Mine is happy. Sad it hits the plastic cowl underneath on the outside corner

POST 9Original post

I'll just add it should be happy when looking at it .

POST 10Original post

I actually got it right first time then when I fitted new ones at the beginning of the month, the old one was straight Miracles do happen :grin:

POST 11Original post

'Sad" during Corona. Revert to 'Happy" next year hopefully. :wink:

POST 12Original post

I have just fitted some of these and will check if I fitted happy or sad tommorow. They haven't been used yet so don't know about them catching or not!

POST 13Original post

I've fitted a set of Bosch aeros to mine and they are fine apart from the passenger side far corner. My car's LHD.

POST 14Original post

:floor: Or sad when Sorn's and happy when taxed :dont know: :grin:

POST 15Original post

My new wipers are still juddering but it looks like they are both fitted properly, sad and spoiler down on drivers side Maybe just removing and refitting will cure the judder If that doesn’t work I’ll try petrol Not to clean the windscreen, but to set fire to the ***** thing!
