Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Plus Six wiper judder - advice requested

My pleasure Dave. Good to "see" you well. Please call me Lorne. Too many people know me as gomog..the old name of the Ottawa club. I am stuck with it.


Yes indeed. 😉 Forgive the young people on Pickersleigh. Morgans used to be solidly reliable out of the box, but as I wrote, each automobile change invariably excites the Deadly Domino Effect. Industry magazines speculate that the first 5000 units of any automobile model are beta, despite testing. For a company like Morgan 5000 units takes decades and they have been changing/tweaking cars constantly since 2000.

But you know the drill. I have not changed. You can help them and others of your CX brethren if you solve this. (Though it may merely be a poor adjustment on one car.) I am sure (with a couple of codicils) that CXs can be sorted as we did your Roadster. A sorted Morgan is a treasure. The faster lore of CX fixes is built up, the happier their owners and the MMC will be. That being said, it is not in the nature of the MMC in the last two decades to stick long with any design. It is like trying to paint a work of art on a moving canvas.


You are on the right track. Changing the blades made a difference! Making a difference means you have found a path to a solution


That is why I start off with basic principles..much like Luddite. Basic principles are much more instructive and fun than a mere "Turn screw 1a.07 forty degrees to the left", though that is what fristrated owners are looking for. Regardless of what wiper system, they are ALL affected by the same factors.


Brilliant! It certainly looks like it may be adjustable. But is that for length only? The Factory was not very revealing. 🙁 The MMC became non-communicative during the hard times. But I think you met up with old regime habits. The new owners seem sweet.

What we need is the name of the manufacturer of the assembly and consult them. If not, you can continue with trial and error and different wipers as you have discovered they have an effect, as I did with my traditional system. Hmm...I let my MMC contacts lapse long ago. However, that can be remedied. Do you have any?

Just musing. We are looking for knowledge. I don't think there will be much joy in fiddling with what you are pointing to with your arrow. Merely an untensioned pivot point from this perch. How about this examining the thingie I am pointing to below. At this stage we are merely trying to confirm that there is excess drag between wiper and screen.
