Having replaced mine for Caterham black ones that also have spring clip securing, can anyone recommend an easy way to remove them from the splined driveshaft. The spring tab is difficult to access, but I guess it needs to be pulled outwards.

The spring tab is difficult to access, but I guess it needs to be pulled outwards. On mine, it was just a straight pull - didn't need any levering or fiddling with the tab. However I have a folding screen so they are on and off reasonably often. Just bought a little stubby phillips to keep in the glovebox to remove them now I've swapped to screw fitted ones.

I pushed a small electrical type screwdriver between the wiper and arm. The wiper then came of easily with just a little jiggling.

Had to use my wipers with the 6 inch blades today in a heavy downpour mixed with hail.
Must confirm they are really excellent.
Can recommended them.

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. ![[Linked Image]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1etms7h6csq8n6c/wiper.jpg) 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 I blame the other Peter when he fitted them originally, this picture was taken of my 4/4 when it was in dispatch (lacks a bit of clarity) and he seems quite pleased with himself ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/10/001.jpg)

He looks like he was stealing something and is hiding it behind his back.
I love the way the posters & was slope downhill.
But I bet you are well pleased to have that picture

When did they change from two to three.blades? I feel abit aggrieved at only having two.

At the launch of the Plus 8 so around 1968 I believe, the three wipers and spot lamps were easy identifiers if you couldn't hear it or see it disappearing into the distance.
The others followed through commonality at production level I guess.
