Weird wiper issue

  1. I've noticed that the passenger side wiper has started to sit off the window glass. I'm pretty sure this is a recent issue and that it used to sit on the curve of the glass. Anyone have any ideas?

  2. Try taking your wiper off and moving it up a tad ,it appears to be stopping a bit low down , they all hang off the end a tad as the screen curves quite a bit , also try a rear screen wiper blade ?
     
  3. is the arm pushing it enough ,if not bend it...;)
     
  4. You mean up on the splines?
     
  5. yeh , a tad or bend as lef says , i use a rear wiper that tends to have another hinge at the end ,but it still sticks out a tad which its bound to a bit , does it wipe ok ?
     
  6. No, it seems to be missing the bottom quarter of the screen

    It's the blade. Old ones were more double jointed but new ones for modern cars don't have to be as car windows are less curved nowadays. Someone on here was selling OG wiper blades.

  9. Yes, I've got NOS SWF silver ones available to suit '68-'72 silver arms. Note the extra triangular joint.

  10. How much ed??
     
  11. £25, cash, collect Bristol or an extra £2.60 to post in a poster tube (strong shape, but blades removed from original packaging to fit - too much hassle to make up a padded slimline box to take packaged blades). PayPal as a gift please.
     
  12. Think mine are later arms........
     
  13. Yep checked today, I've got later wiper arms
