Hood down in light rain there is as much muck on the inside of the screen as the outside...so wipers don't help much...
Hood up 2 of the three wipers work very well.
But swapping the blades around changes nothing, the drivers wiper never properly clears the glass.
The navigator always has a clear, none smeary, view.
You've just reminded me of my second car which was a Vauxhall Nova where the drivers side wiper kept breaking It was never the passenger wiper but always the bloody drivers side that came unattached which was coming off a pivoting arm assembly I could never understand why the engineers made the drivers side more prone to breakage! Used to drive me nuts

Mine work really effectively in pushing the water up over the screen into my face
Lazer beams might work better at boiling rain off but not very trad!

I always used to call the ones on my Mog the windscreen smearers.

Should have bought a left hand drive.

On the S2 the two outside wipers actually do wipe. The centre one wiggles around a bit and makes a mess. I was told the best thing to do is actually bend the metal supports to get the position (not hit top or bottom, get it to rest without self destruction against the body) and work on the articulation of the hinge correctly. Fat chance, best bet would be applying for hogwarts for guidance on that one. The factory have had two goes and failed to date. They still park over the edge of the lower windscreen frame and so wreck the windscreen wipers within a couple of uses.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Combination of rainx and wipers works decently on mine.
Could be much, much worse.

Could be much, much worse. I shall be opting for more RainX next time then! I did apply it last time out but proved inadequate
