Hello...
Just wondering, I need new wipers for my tipo but as they are not the standard "off the shelf" type, can I replace the arms with a more universal type to make replacing the blades more easy?

Personally I can find new wipers very easily. Actually the only thing I have to look for is the appropriate length. Except that all the wipers of the market suit to my Tipo. I fing very strange what you say...
Thanks for the quick reply !
Whats throwing me is that the blade holders are fixed at 2 points on the arm and so far I have'nt been able to find any direct replacements.
we replaced the whole arms with ones from the lancia dedra it was far easier when replacing wipers had to be refils with the fiat ones . fiat, lancia , alfa a lot of parts fit from these cars
hello there, ive got a mark1 Tipo and that has regular wiper arms on, so i guess you could get some from maybe a mk1 or a Punto or something like that.... go to your local scrappy with one from you car and see what you can find....
Yes I will I think.
It just seems a bit strange that some tipos seem to have this odd system whereby the blades are attached to the actual arm making your choice of replacement limited to refills.
Marea/Bravo/Brava arms will fit the drivers side. Passenger side requires the rivet to be drilled out, the arm shortening and re-riveting. Then you will have the replaceable type, and possibly even a spoiler on your drivers side
Hi I'm new to all this and have had my Tipo for just over a year, I've given up with trying to find wiper blades for my car and just ask my mechanic to sort it for me!
Grab a pair of Bravo/Brava/Marea wipers. Drivers is a straight fit. Passenger side needs the rivet drilling out, the shaft cutting down a few inch then re-drilled and riveted.
Blimey !
Thanks for all the replies guys ! (have'nt been back for a while)
I think I will probably go for the brava option, but thanks again to everyone who helped !!!
