Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) MR11MOG (Peter's) Wiper Blades

For all those interested in Peters new 6" wiper blades for the shorter windscreen I have just fitted a set to my 4/4 and they do not appear out of place and do not look too chunky. They are well made and I am well pleased



P.S. Don't forget the discount on my next order Peter

Yes I agree they are brilliant well worth the money!,,,

The 7 inch worked perfectly on my S1 Roadster. It transferred them to my Brooklands and the n/s one had the blade crossing the screen frame at the top of a stroke. I have a 6 inch unit now that I will test when I collect the car Wed. It is having paint protection film fitted.

I agree too, much better quality. Why doesn't the factory fit these?

I did fine tune each arm by bending the bit in the pic below but they function and park beautifully.

Excellent....

Thank you to all who purchased The 7” blades ,very often the arms need a slight tweak on the bend to ensure they lay parallel when parked ,you would think the dealers would pick this up on PDI and sort it out .
It’s quite amazing how different the wiper arms are bent to fit the Morgan car ,or not as the case may be in some cases.
6” Blades have now arrived for the older 2 seater cars and are going down well but I only have a small quantity left .

Roger that is perfect parking .
Owen yours over lap on to the bottom of the windscreen fame .
It may be possible to bend the arms to get them parallel with the bottom of the screen then adjust the arm on the splines to re position.
but the arms are different ,no screw to lock them in place so It must be on a splined taper wheel box ,it’s never straight forward with a Morgan .
Perhaps leave well alone if they work ok ,the rubbers can be easily replaced .

Well Peter you have taken me back to my school days with your observations on my fitting of your new wipers to the car. If it was my homework, I think it would have had scribed "see me" at the bottom of the page(especially if it was French homework)in the all too familiar red Biro.So with that in mind I sheepishly I crept back out to the garage and had another attempt at fitting the aforementioned items
Please Sir ! no one told told me to bend the arms, and I was too thick to realize.

Oops! Sorry if I got you in trouble with Sir

Spines are the same - some arms have a spring clip to hold them in place, others have a screw fitting.

I've just replaced my standard arms (spring clip) for some adjustable ones (screw fit) to get better coverage at the top and sides of the screen,
