Is it possible to adjust the sweep of the wipers, my drivers one leaves about a 3 inch border of unwiped screen down the right hand edge, is this normal ?

Dunno about the 928, but I did this on a Cortina.
The wiper blades were mounted on a serated spindle. All I did was remove the blade from the spindle and rotate it slightly to increase its sweep area to one side or another.

Incidentally, does it park OK?

yes it parks fine, I did think of that, but then it would be parked a bit high, though drivers does park lower than passenger one, but it looks a bit high.... so you may be right

My GTS has the same gap on the drivers side.
I don't believe its possible to adjust it and mantain the 'normal' parking position.

Sort of related. My wipers are really slow. Anyone else experienced this or got a fix?
