Silver screen/wipers

[RGR723]

First time use of genuine Silver screen felt it was a bit tight when fitted over the blades. So now have fitted it with the blades outside of it. Which is how a lot are shown on website pictures.
Is there a right way, or is it what's right for you?

Wipers out on top of silver screens

Under the blades so it's in close contact with the screen.

I use an external silver screen to reduce heat from the sun (in Spain, now) and I keep the wipers under it. If using an interior screen and the sun is strong (eg Spain, now) I lift the wipers off the screen with surplus wine corks. I often forget and loose the corks - but there’s always more

Blades on top - keeps the silver screen in place!
edit: it also keeps the ‘fold-down’ bit in place too!

Ah. Of course, it depends largely on how it’s attached. Probably sensible to go with the photos

Thanks all for the prompt replies, mixed range of answers. So I guess it comes down to the old adage what's right for you.

But no protection for the blades from ultra violet which causes wiper deterioration. I don’t bother with silver screens but I do have silver wiper protectors. A few £s on ebay saves expensive wiper replacement.

From silver screens.

Ours has elasticated hooks, covers the wipers and the trough in front. Serves us well in all weather/ tree environs.

Our screens have the extended flap over the bonnet vents so would be impossible to put wipers outside.
