Wiper arms - What are they off ?

[jl34]

Cant find in the noble wiki , does anyone know what they are off ? Mines a 2003 3R.

thanks.

Lots of debate over the years but no-one has ever found a car that they are from.... personally I think they are modified items that only fit the Noble.

blimey thats worrying as i need 2 of them , the teeth have worn.

Like Andy says, lots of debates on this one. Think they are about £80 to replace. I had a new screen replaced recently and asked the question to the 2 repair men, both came back with early Corsa,

I got one off a Mondeo, but I've never found one the same since.

given the source of the screen, is it possible it's Lotus Elan M100?

If it were then I also found there's a single wiper conversion kit that sweeps full left-right

I modified/bastardised the standard mechanism to relocate the wiper to dead centre and run a single wiper.... total cost of the single 24inch wiper blade and saved 1.5kgs in weight

In the below pic my car is dirty so you can see the sweep of the wiper lol

I have a single 26-ish blade on the driver's side spindle.

me too - looks good, i was even able to drop mine a click or two on the spindle so it sits flat flush with the clam and still wipes accross enough

By the way - im loving the picture of the carbon car with the engine in the background

what arm did you use for the single blade conversions ?

For mine I simply reshaped the original noble one... for the others they simply reuse the original noble arm with a large blade, technically not fully legal as it doesn't sweep passenger side fully, however its unlikely it would ever be called out by Mot or copper as its pretty close to being legal and its only the passenger side

My wife insists on a cushion to see over the wipe arm

I have nothing to add other than that carbon fibre is pure porn. Christian von Koenigsegg would be proud of that.
