#1 Windscreen Wipers

Hello

The offside wiper on my RHD 3.8 FHC does not bend to match the contour of the windscreen and I suspect that the spring in the wiper arm needs to be stronger. Does anyone know of a supplier who carries wiper arms with decent springs that will give my wipers a better contact with the windscreen?

Thanks

Myles

Yes, buy the £20 each blades from SNGB rather than the £7 crap blades which use vinyl rather than rubber. Even in period the wipers were an instrument of last resort so put Rain-X on your screen as well plus RainX additive in your screen washer bottle.

Good call. My near side wiper doesn't lay flat either.

Thanks!
