[/i]Dave. I am still information gathering. I won't offer much concrete until I have exhausted that route. I haven't heard from the Factory on who the point man at the supplier is.

However, I HAVE heard from someone I trust that the CX wipers are better than the older stuff George and I have. It is stronger and has far fewer moving parts. That being said, I have had the older system locally repaired for a pittance. The magnets in the electric motor failed on one of my Plus 8s 30 years ago. As well, we KNOW where to source the older stuff (new or used)[i]. I too want more substantial and prettier wipers.

Here is something to add to your data bank. I can also provide a MUCH larger resolution.
