Default Cossie headlight wipers..

Hi Fella's,


Im in need of a n/s headlight wiper arm. Any idea's where to go for one?
Ive tried RS Classics and apparently they are hard to find.. I have the arm, its just the plastic bit on the end thats munted.


Probably one of the only things im struggling to get, oh and of course fog lights..


Thanks in advance..

I have used arms and motors but there's no wipers or clips for them.
Saab arms and wipers are a direct swap and look good,can't remember what model,900 maybe??

Saab 93 1998-2002 model fit perfectly. All you need to do is swap the clip in the blades around or they sit too far out. I have them on mine. Pair of blades is only £6 odd as well

I've just sold a Saab 93 before I realised or it would have been sold without its wipers, I have a new set somewhere in ford packaging to go on mine when it's back on the road

Can you take photos please of what you mean by the clip. I would love to try the Saab ones. They are a lot easier to find on this side of the pond then Cosworth or normal Sierra headlamp wipers.

On the blades themselves there is a clip to attach to the wiper arm. This is sided.. you remove it and turn it round the other way so the blade sits further in. It will work the other way, but will clean the bonnet edge and miss the bottom of the headlamp.

I will try and get a photo, but it may be next weekend when I am home in daylight.

Cheers mate take the pictures at your convenience. My Sierra won't get here for 3 more weeks.
