Has anyone found an alternative wiper arm and blade to replace the useless standard supply ?

On suggestion from others have ordered these black arms and matching S3 blades from Caterham online parts. Main reason was cosmetic but if wipe action improves it will be a bonus.  The arm dimensions seem to be identical to the OE ones on my Roadster, blades just 5mm longer which should be fine. Classic parts book suggests 4/4 ones are the same. Have taken a gamble they will fit ok, but as they are due to arrive tomorrow should know soon enough. Watch this space

If too long Steve, they can always be "adjusted" with a hacksaw!

Anyone know a good source of chrome ones? For a 4 seater screen I think your 2006/7 4 seater has the same sized screen as 2 seaters from the same period It’s just the earlier pre-1999 4 seaters that had the slightly taller windscreen

Sorry it’s for my car (96 +4 4 seater) not my dads (Roadster 4 seater) but good to know..
Googling old post suggest a Series Land Rover Wiper Blade? Is that still the way to go?

Not sure how much taller the pre '99 4 seater screen is but for reference Land Rover series blades are 10 inches (245mm) long compared to current Classic blades 185mm long - quite a difference!
Note that Westfield offer a sprung 204mm blade.

I trimmed LR series blades to fit my 2 seater screen.
I have a slightly larger swept area than Morgan blades provide.
