| Post subject: | Another question - windscreen wipers |
My wipers seem to sweep way too far, the drivers one goes halfway off the screen. Could someone grab a pic or 2 of the stock set up please and tell me how long the arms are and what length the blades should be? They are also a bit temperamental in so much as they dont always want to start again if they dont stop in the right place. Always fun these old cars aren't they?

I'll try and find mine, they're in a box somewhere lol. I may have a spare motor unit for you as i may have sussed out what's wrong with the original but need to test first. I think most of the problems come down to the relay on these things. let's hope! |

Thats great, thanks. Mine are the hidden ones, I understand they are different to the non-hidden ones. I dont mind which system I have as long as they work. I can always try and figure out whats wrong with mine. I think the hidden system should have a double arm on the drivers side, which mine doesnt currently have, which is why I think its not sweeping correctly. David

Yep the reason mine aren't right is the drivers side arm is wrong, it should be a double, articulated one. Looks like they are available repro in the states, but the UK suppliers I spoke to couldnt get them. Looks like I might have to import a set if I can't find someone with a second hand set. |
