Windscreen wipers Arteon

[mickw64]

We are having an issue with the Windscreen wipers not working when our vehicle, Arteon 2018, has been parked on the drive of our house overnight. We have to drive a short distance down the road for the wiper system to work.  Is this normal behaviour because we had a new windscreen fitted prior to taking ownership and wondered if the sensor has been damaged, if so, the dealership will have to sort it out, but we are not sure if there is an issue or not.  Just concerned because if there was heavy rain it would be difficult to see before heading on the road without wipers working.

We had same windscreen wiper system on our VW Passat and that worked fine without any hesitation and that also had a windscreen replacement. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

Hi MIke

I do wonder if the fault started after the screen was fitted then quite possibly it needs calibrating to work correctly
