Re: Single wiper conv

It really is that easy. Chubbstons done his. And with a bit of luck i'll get round to doing mine in the near future. Especially as one of my wiper blades is coming to an end. Perfect opportunity.

Re: Single wiper conv

does its work better than the sub standard crap that fiat made for the car..

as we all know, how on earth can the wipers be so bad for the car...? i have a 1972 mg midget, and they are better than the cinq !

i think as cinq owners we can sue the company for manufacture default on the clutch cable and wipers...? what do you all think... lol

Re: Single wiper conv

Hi

My single wiper works out fine...

The wiper motor is from a Uno and it was easy to fit...

Only thing I needed to modify was the spring in the wiper arm so it could press harder to the window.

My single wiper works better than the original two wipers

See pic.

Re: Single wiper conv

Looking good!

What did you do to modify the spring? Re-wind it?

I just pressed the original spring together and welded a new stop for the spring so it was stronger.. very easy to do...

The best part of the car is the handmade seats in alcatar and leather

Got a little problem with the car these days because of the snow. The BEBE makes it to low and it allows only 90mm snow on the road
