Wipers on 100e

[PlopPlop]

Hi, I know a mini wiper motor on a 100e is common but I dont seem to have enough throw to wipe enough screen, if that makes sense to anyone is there a way to solve it?

Just a thought, but maybe try to adapt a single wiper to fit? Wouldn't have a clue what one would work, if any. I have no idea, but maybe it's not possible due to the wiper arm hitting bodykit on its cycle? single wiper would look smart

I thought about the single wiper, but due to size and shape of the screen you need a small wiper and wont cover enough screen for me, I can adjust my wipers so they clear my view but they then dont park anywhere near, and when I adjust them to park correctly they dont swing enough to clear my view, the only idea I can think of is to get the opposite side wipers (if any) and have them park on the drivers side, then its only the pass. side that does'nt get fully wiped, but I can live with that, but then again I'm not sure if I'd like em on the driver side cos theyd probably bug me being right in my view, any 100e owners with the same problem? or better still a solution?

You can get different gear wheels from mini spares to give more sweep.

I just mount the mini wiper motor on the large column support & run the flexi cable over to the passenger side. This means they park on the drivers side. I used LHD mini wiper arms which are available cheap on ebay.

Done this on both of mine & never really noticed them obscuring my view.

if your mini wiper motor parks the wipers on the passenger side then take the cover off, remove the large gear wheel in there and you'll find a clip plinth type thing on the gear which opperates the park switch. pop it off and clip it into the other side of the wheel and it will now park on the drivers side

Cheers Andy I assume ya talkin about the mk2 motor, I've got a mk1 motor in it at the mo and it only parks where ever they are when I switch em off, am I missin something?

[DaveC]

You are right, the Mk1 Mini motor parks wherever you turn it off

Cheers Dave, I'm glad you said that cos I almost bought a second one thinkin mine was broke, It does'nt bother me too much cos switchin em off just becomes another fun game for my childish mind
