wipers and jet wshers

[BURNIE]

As title guys have a set of wiper blades with washer jets on the end of the arm where can I buy this type of wiper blade? cheers

...Believe they were sold by Leven - but I'm not sure if they are still going as a company?

I think you can prise off the washer jet fitting and then re-attach to over the counter wipers. I might have heard that they were a Mercedes van O.E.

I fitted these with Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades from Powers which work well:

I've got these as well on the Sag and they stop the water coming out when it shouldn't (unlike the standard tubes under acceleration).

However, one dastardly day the water stopped coming out of one side when it should - transpired that the little plastic connector inside the rubber feed hose on that side had melted shut due to exhaust heat. Sawed off the melted end and replaced - all fine again.

I've got standard Bosch blades on there that were put on at service time but something more modern would be nice. I was warned about the curve of the screen though and some blades not able to cope / follow 'round the corner'.

Funny story actually - not long after the car was new I found that if the wipers were used at any geat road speed that the driver's side would push its arc slightly too far and catch around the A pillar pulling the wiper mechanism apart at the ball joint. I remember David Connolly doing some complicated mathematics before shortening one of the bars in the mechanism to stop this happening - perfect ever since. Thanks David, we miss you.

Did you get your dribbling problem sorted then? Enquiring minds and all...
