If you have one good one then just get a 22" blade and use 1 wiper, works very well and looks better

Same thing happened to my wipers. Had them sorted at Kerridges and the washer jets too.

Only about £50. It was done at the same time as an annual service.

Has anyone spoken to the people who make the Demon Tweeks ones?
They may be willing to have a fiddle and see if one may fit straight on? Maybe get one close that just needs a small amount of modification?

What is the one used on the Ultima, maybe that would fit?
I would change mine if one can be found.

I have had my wipers knit together also. In the rain in the motorway - interesting!.

New wiper arm was supplied reasonably fast by Noble (SHAME THEY CAN'T MANAGE TO DO THAT WITH A CLUTCH) however the passenger side arm always strikes the clam on its downward stroke. It seems to be because the joint on the arm is too flexible so the momentum of the arm takes it lower than its "parked" position. This is very noisy and irritating.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a simple solution?

(Has anyone had adjustable intermitent wipe added to their car?)

Yep. Easy. I put a 1" shorter blade on the passenger side. 17" i think.

Funnily enough, I posted this note just after trying shorter blades with a very helpful man at Halfords. Unfortunately it just strikes a bit lower down.

I guess each car's wiper mechanism mounting can be a bit different and that's all it takes.

Any other fixes????
