    I have a 2005 W900l with the funky wipers that start in the middle of the windsheild and sweep outward towards the edge of the windsheild. I am having problems with the blades getting stuck together. I have the required 15 inch blades. Is there a kit to convert this over to regular sweeping action? any other suggestions? I also have a issue with the speed. Sometimes delay and low works, sometimes they don't...high speed always works. I really need help with this as it is driving me crazy.

    The speed problem sounds like a switch issue, like a fan motor, when the resistor goes all that works is high speed.

    Far as I know there is no kit to convert to a more traditional sweep.

    I had the timing of mine adjusted at the dealer so I know it can be done but I dont know how. I need to adjust mine more as the passenger side like to run off the glass.

    Do you have the split windscreen? I drove a T600 with the same type of wipers, and they were always 1-2" away from the center gaskets.

    Both mine and my buddy's W900 has a wiper that just doesnt always end up next to the center of the dual windshields. They wipe fine but their HOME position isn't always vertical with the center windshield divider. Like Barroll says, 1-2" away..
