Changing windscreen viper blades on 406

I have a 406 -97, and wonder if there is a way to make the windscreen vipers
more accessible for changing the blades?
Is it possible to make them stop "halfway" to make it more easy to bend
outwards?

-BA-

 

Unfortunately this is another Peugeot design fault. It makes washing the car
a headache too I guess this is not a Sunday morning pastime in France.

To stop them halfway, let them run and turn off the ignition at the point
you want them to stop at.

Hi,

car
Well, playing with ignition is not the hardest thing you could do with a car

LOL ! It could. Some people wash their car on Friday afternoon, then trash
it in the countryside and come back to home with 3lb or mud stuck to bodykit

 

The cars with French numberplates I see in the UK are all rusty,
beaten-up heaps of junk, usually with half-a-dozen parking tickets
stuck to the windscreen. Does anyone in France actually buy new cars,
or do the Swiss sell theirs on when the ashtrays are full?

 

Hi,

Well, I have to agree with you, some owners are neglectant (spelling ?).
Errr... I have a friend of mine which almost has to press the phone bill to
change gear - just 'cause the clutch pedal is underneath
But else, yeah they still buy new cars, can't remember the figures for 2004,
but in 2003 60% of them were french cars.

LOL !
