Windshield Wipers









The conventional twin wiper system is driven by a single motor controlled from the right hand column stalk switch. The motor which has 'microswitch overload protection,' is mounted on a bracket below the plenum cover on the driver's side. Available only as a complete assembly including motor, the wiper system is handed to suit market requirements. The wiper arms are dedicated to either driver or passenger side installation and incorporate blade carriers that enable wipers to be parked in lowest possible position on the windshield. The wiper blades are of synthetic rubber. Windshield washer jet assemblies are mounted on the wiper arms.

Operating modes are normal, high speed, flick wipe, and six settings of intermittent operation with delays ranging from 2 to 20 seconds.
