Great to hear you're enjoying 4 wheels so much. How are you finding the windscreen "wipers"? They're a squeaky luxury..! My side is great, the other two not so much so I'm happy. The wind was gusting from my side, so it blew raindrops in through the slightest gap but we both agreed moving from the M3W was the right thing at the right time. Service on Weds and the fun ramps up from there..

Excellent. The one on my side clears quite well on the "up" wipe then smears it all across on the way back!

For some reason, the standard Morgan windscreen wiper blades are a bit pants.
One option is to replace them with blades from a Series Land Rover. The LR blades are too long, but 5 minutes with a Dremel or a pair of tin snips sorts that out.
Another option is to use Rain-X, but because of the poor aerodynamics you have to go quite fast to get the drops to blow off...

Search for Wiper blade replacements in the search box with my name "Robbie" in the name box and you'll see my solution for this on the 2nd page.
Would paste the link if I knew how on this iPad!!!!!

Just been to your thread Robbie. Brilliant, and my first Morgan project. You also seem to have trained your wipers to sit nicely at the bottom of the windscreen. Mine like to sit on the lower frame just below the glass. Lazy!

This is the result of 200 miles in some of the worst weather I've ever driven in, in this country. But worth it to see Adrian's new Aero!  The way the water runs over the car is interesting. Needless to say, the back panel was uniformly filthy and it was impossible to see out of the rear window. I spent nearly 2 hours washing it off, I had to go over the car 3 times and now it needs a polish! In a TinTop I'd have just gone through the car wash...... Yes, I like keeping the Mog clean and bright, but this is just a bit much! Peter

Went to Raglan castle yesterday. Top up on the way in due to heavy showers but top down on the way back.
We also go hail as a treat whilst wandering around the castle.
Have just washed, waxed and then used Meguiars ultimste quik detailer so the car looks great now.
