As per the subject, does anyone know of a source for new wiper arms for RHD cars? I've found LHD ones from Pieces-Fulvia but they won't be any use. I'd like to get new ones so hopefully the wipers will actually clear the screen rather than just moving water around but leaving it in the sight line!

If RHD arms aren't easy to find might just replacing the springs solve the problem? (Or am I being naïve?)

I bought some from Cavlitto some years ago, but you'll have to make sure they are a RHD, first time LHD arrived.
I rarely use the wipers as a regular treatment with Rain X, deals with most of the rain, with the occasional flick of the blades.

Hi

No experience of Fulvias, so ignore this is not relevant. For the Beta I approached Tex who took my old blades and made up a pair of Stainless blades for me at very reasonable cost and gave them a part nos to allow re-ordering. Sorry no idea what the blade connection is like on the Fulvia, but maybe worth talking with them. They are U.K. based.

Arms, I put new blades on (again) and they don't clear very well.

I doubt the springs are the prblem unless they have rusted. You could buy the lhd arms and use those springs….

That makes for very expensive springs!!

Another way of looking at it is that it would cost you the price of a pair of wiper arms to end up with a pair of working wiper arms. Sometimes it is the only option to solve a problem.
