Leven Technology have just announced a new improved wiper for the Griff. Haven't seen it myself but I've read about it on here and it gets rave reviews.
Maggit - where are you ...
Boo!
Fitted my set last sunday, 30 minutes flat, with no instructions. Easy peasy, does what it says on the tin, etc. Well worth investing in, you can have either the wipers and spray head, or replacement arms too. I went for the full set, as you do, It's loads neater than stock, and the jets go on the screen, not everywhere else.
I managed to break off the head on the first arm, because I'm stoopid, but the supplied superglue re-stuck it in place. The water pipe fits up the middle of the spring, spray a bit of WD40 at the start of the spring first, or it won't go through. Well, it might go through, but I got fed up trying, so resorted to the WD40.
I do have a "clunk" at the start of the sweep, but I think that I reglued the head on at a slightly different angle, and it's making contact with the screen when the arm changes direction. I'm going to twist the arm a little at the weekend. I'm sure it's me, and not a problem with the design itself.
Would I recommend the kit. Well, there's piles of Bear poo in the woods, isn't there? If you view Leven as just a glimmer supplier, try this piece of kit. You won't be disappointed. I'm almost waiting for rain now to go and try them for real. The wipers now look like they should have been from day one, and not like a set of standard arms that the design team fitted, then thought, "bugger, we forgot the washer jets, bend a bit of pipe and clip it in place. That'll do".
