Title: Are new wiper arms available? Post by: andyps on 30 September, 2024, 10:13:24 PM As per the subject, does anyone know of a source for new wiper arms for RHD cars? I've found LHD ones from Pieces-Fulvia but they won't be any use. I'd like to get new ones so hopefully the wipers will actually clear the screen rather than just moving water around but leaving it in the sight line!

Title: Re: Are new wiper arms available? Post by: fay66 on 01 October, 2024, 04:52:22 PM I bought some from Cavlitto some years ago, but you'll have to make sure they are a RHD, first time LHD arrived.
I rarely use the wipers as a regular treatment with Rain X, deals with most of the rain, with the occasional flick of the blades. Brian 8227 8) Title: Re: Are new wiper arms available? Post by: peteracs on 01 October, 2024, 05:15:15 PM Hi
No experience of Fulvias, so ignore this is not relevant. For the Beta I approached Tex who took my old blades and made up a pair of Stainless blades for me at very reasonable cost and gave them a part nos to allow re-ordering. Sorry no idea what the blade connection is like on the Fulvia, but maybe worth talking with them. They are U.K. based. https://texautomotive.com/product-category/wipers/wiper-blades/ Peter Title: Re: Are new wiper arms available?

I have wondered that, need to see if there are any springs tte right size available off the shelf. Title: Re: Are new wiper arms available?

Post by: frankxhv773t on 03 October, 2024, 08:07:17 AM Another way of looking at it is that it would cost you the price of a pair of wiper arms to end up with a pair of working wiper arms. Sometimes it is the only option to solve a problem.
