Cornish Rattler Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi guys Just curious really i've noticed on my n/s screen that there is a wear mark from a previous wiper blade before i have owned the 2a that goes from the bottom of the frame to the right part of the frame on the outside and just wonderd how it got there as mine is a late 2a with later wipers, just wondering if there are differend arms and blades out there that fit and would work like that as the std stroke is a bit anoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I thought stroke was defined by the gear in the wiper motor? Defender arms & blades are a bit longer I believe, I've also seen Toyota Yaris rear arms used but they'd look stupid on a Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 One thing I’ve noticed in mine is that the stroke isn’t consistent - I don’t know if it’s wear, but when it’s hot (the motor) and the screen very wet I get a wider arc. Perhaps that screen has had a very worn gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just think - if you had a S1 you could end up with the wear pattern upside down! (Screens are rectangular rather than tapered) The various components in the linkage can work loose - and the wheel boxes can wear. Careful attention may solve the problem. You can also get polishing kits for the glass which may get rid of wear patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Cheer's guys, with mine everything is new now motor, wheel boxes, cable, arms and blades so possibly as been said maybe something or everything was worn possibly everything as the wiper assy wasn't fitted just the old motor as everything else was just hanging down due to the bulkhead being repaired and never finished by p.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’ll show you the wipers on my 80 in action at some point - they’ll make you laugh I think 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
