Wipers not clearing HDT bonnet scoop

[Scatman696]

Hey All,

I’ve just noticed that My wipers are rubbing on the back of my bonnet scoop (HDT). Is this normal? Easy fix solutions?

Anyone else had this issue and fixed it. The bonnet alignment is good (not high).

TIA.

You got pics?

Should be heaps of clearance...iirc back off them at bottom of scoop doesnt go past plastic vents on bonnet.

Id had to have a look at my vh sle with brock scoop but I hate the look of it lol

Are the wipers seated all the way home? Looks like might be a bit of a gap there.

I think that scoop is too far back.

Scoop is in the wrong spot...

Wipers have a nut that holds them in situ..

To check that's not the issue, lift the wiper body up, then flip the cap to the nut so it is exposed...Tighten it up (13MM from memory) and then drop the wiper body down.....

Google pic of a VK bonnet scoop fitted, giving an idea of where it is to be

Should be decent clearance if wiper is seated properly then scoop too far back.

Not sure if can see it properly on mine.
