Original wipers

[John Wood]

Paddocks are out of stock. Does anyone else have them?

I would think your best bet is a used set from someone like S & S, a quick rub down and re-spray, then some new rubber blades and you're good to go. The original wipers certainly work better than any of the replacement stuff. Have you also tried rain-x on your screen?

Never seem to have much trouble picking up original wiper blades at the autojumbles.

I'll pick some up for you John at Beaulieu.

john speak to jim Johnson he found someone that had both sizes. but you'll have to be a bit patient and youll have to push as it sounds like he has a lot of gear.

if you factor in the earth's rotation, we are all speeding

I painted the original wipers on the Spider with auto trim paint after preparing the surface. I then replaced the rubber with new, I use brand name rubber like Trico. Still looks like new going on 7 years. I do this for all my cars following finding out the wipers for my Toyota was $157 (no longer available).

I got some wipers from Robsport who were apologetic that they only had the pin fittings in 17 inch size.I bought two fitted them and they seem perfectly good.Steve..

16" blades work fine - Poundland! They have holes in for pin-fit. They may not last for ever - but they work! And yes - I use Rain X on the screen - it certainly helps. Allows just the intermittent wipe to be used in the heaviest rain!

Same here as FI, I use refill's too.
Found out there is a slight difference between driver and passenger side, hence various brands ...
