Bit of a thread revival but my Macan does this too.. anyone aware of a fix.. I don’t think it’s a spine alignment issue

Does the wiper park properly? If not a spline alignment issue. Porsche specifies where the wipers should park - might be able to dig it out

They just need adjusting, mine did it after the windscreen was replaced and they weren't fitted back properly.

You can do it yourself easy enough, if you have the right tools, but I actually called Porsche Assistance and they sent an AA man to fix it. Took him five minutes. They aren't just for when your car won't start - it's a technical fault, get it fixed.

This from the Porsche manual on wiper placement

My drivers side wiper needed moved after it tried to clear slushy snow and slipped on the splines

Quick update to say it was indeed just the wipers that needed adjusting on the splines.. the above diagram with the measurements really helped so thanks for posting!
All sorted now 👍👍😀
