Two of blades on my 2022 Plus Four always seemed to hit the windscreen frame making a clonk at the end of the travel. The drivers side at the top rail & the passenger side at the bottom rail.
This worried me & I did think it might be partly the source of wiper arms loosening, as my passenger side had it heavy rain in Belgium last year.
The 3 blades all measured approx 205 to 208mm.
I did some research & saw that there were 3 blade lengths and then had an online discussion with Peter Gilbert who advertises in Miscellany.
He told me 2022 CXs should have 200 mm blades, I haven't owned mine from new so whether MMC or someonelse got it wrong I don't know.
Anyway with a 200 mm on the passenger side & the drivers side they work perfectly now without an audible clonk. The drivers side rubber just kisses the side rail at the top and the passenger side doesn't hit anything.
I kept the middle 208 mm one just because it works & so have a spare 200mm & two spare 208mm for emergencies.
My thanks to Peter for his help. I am as satisfied customer.
If you own a 2022 CX or earlier it might be worth checking the blades.

After two of my wiper arms fell off my 2023 P4 and one got run over by a following car I was surprised that all the arms are different R1,R2 and R3. Mine do not hit screen surround. The groves on the drive arm are not deep enough which is an issue. Mine are now tightened with locktite and marked with small dots so I can see if they are unscrewing!

My originals (2021 Plus Four) were very poor quality & the centre blade caught on the hood when up. Trimmed it down with a cutting disc but all juddered across the screen. Recently replaced with ones from Wolf Performance at £11 each (plus vat & postage). Peter Gilbert is mentioned on there too. Brilliant. https://www.wolfperformance.co.uk/product/improved-windscreen-wipers-by-mr-p-gilbert/

Are the washer jets deliberately unequal from the bonnet centre line ?
