So I need a pair of new wiper blades... The second issues is I think the current blades, drivers’ in particular, are hitting the windscreen surround and encouraging it to let water in...
Are there specific Herald blades around?; Where do I get them from?; Do I just put up with the leaking and put more sealant on it?
Thank you! Herald 1500 coupé - on the road, working restoration |

I think your blades should be 11" ones and theyre available from most Triumph parts suppliers. If you already have the correct blades and arms and they hit the surround then their operating sweep needs to be adjusted in the wiper motor. It needs patience but by altering the sliding contact position under the round cover you should end up with the wipers sweeping the correct area and stopping just above the base of the windscreen. |

Thank you. I’ll have a little play with adjusting the operating sweep. Found some 11” blades but wasn’t sure if they were the right ones, so will get them. Herald 1500 coupé - on the road, working restoration |

I found the stainless steel shiney ones on my Vitesse expensive to replace so just bought the refill rubbers off ebay, cut them to size and they work well (but of course theyll never be as good as modern stuff) |
