New to Jazz wiper question

[guest3326]

Hello.
I`ve has my 57 1.2 Jazz for 10 days now   
 
The left wiper (looking from the inside) is failing to clear a triangular patch on the windscreen  and I noticed that the wiper was smaller than the right one.
Does it need adjusting or do I have to learn to live with this ?

Thanks in anticipation of some advice for such a minor niggle.

Wiper blades ARE different sizes 26" and 14". Where is the triangle that is being missed??

The triangle is between the 2 wiper blades area.
On my GD Jazz the original wiper blade sizes are 20" and 15" but I`m using 24" on the driver`s side so there is no triangle at all.

This is normal. As mentioned above, if it's really bothering you, you could possibly change them for longer wipers (providing they aren't too big).
Every car i have owned has been the same. Just out of interest, what car have you driven that clears the entire area?

I have a Suburu Forrester and this has a mechanism that moves the one wiper in a kind of cantilever pattern and leaves a much smaller area unwiped.  On a Mercedes S300 there is just one wiper with a similar action

Increased both sides by an inch, so now 16" and 21" from 15 & 20.  (GD1)

The drivers side could go longer but would there be extra strain on the motor?
16 is the max. on the passenger side, and 15" did not seen to be stocked.
£4 a pair at a cheap home & hardware shop so fitted with a 2 spares.

The rear is special case because of the plastic trim, but it's easy to just replace the rubber.
Take a standard blade, pull out the two stainless support rods with pliers from one end, remove rubber.
Do the same to your old rear blade, then trim the new rubber to length, insert, then slide original stainless supports back in - the last centimetre is a bit fiddly. 

2002 car, have just replaced them for the 3rd time.

Thanks to all for your replies.
I think I`ll replace the wiper with a longer one as it does irritate me.
I`ve never noticed such a large area being missed on any of the cars I`ve driven before which is why I mentioned it.

Still enjoying my car
