Windscreen Wiper Arms & Blades

[PatWright]

Hello folks, I am new to the owners association and a relatively a new owner of a 4 + 2.
I have noticed that there are NOT any wiper arms or blades on my boat.
So my question is ; what length of arms and blades do I need and where is the best place to source them from ?
Thanks in anticipation Pat (mr) Wright

Hello again folks, this Pat Wright with a further question re ; Windscreen Wipers on 4+2. I have checked on another 4+2 about the same age as mine and also on a relatively new 4+2 neither of which have any wipers, whereas mine have two (2) motors, and shafts BUT NO arms or blades . So is it "normal" NOT to have wipers and perhaps mine were added by a previous owner. Information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again in anticipation Pat Wright

Hi there, my 4+2 came with only 1 motor fitted but with the mounting holes already in the other glass pane. I fitted a Roca motor that I purchased from ASAP I think. the critical size is the diameter of the motor spindle so the replacement arms will clamp on. Arms are available which are adjustable in length & my blades are 12" in length. I think Roca suppliers can supply arms & blades as a kit. Hope this helps cheers Magic

Thanks "Magic" ~ (DaveFleck) for info my boat has two motors and the two shafts go through the bulkhead NOT the glass , non the less thx again for what appears to be good information.

Hmm. Mine came without wipers too, seems pretty common on these boats.

Wiper(s) wer / are an optional extra on the 4+2.
My 2 year old boat has one wiper mounted just below the screen on the port side. The motor is inside the cabin at roof level, it is "hidded" with a fabric cover same material as the roof lining. I can post pictures if required.
