Sprites have wiper assemblies which are quite crude. The one-speed motors wipe slowly at best, and if you think you’ll drive in the rain, you’ll do better with Rain-X or a similar coating on your screen. Wipers help, but not much, even under the best of circumstances. Fortunately, these are largely fair weather cars, so the wipers are seldom used. You do want to make sure your wipers don’t do any damage to your car, however, so it’s important to be familiar with the system.
In this video, we show you the basics of the wiper gearbox and wiper arm interface, as well as a few other pointers about the wiper system on all Sprites (and on many other British classics as well)!
We had a car recently with the wipers incorrectly oriented on the wiper gearbox, which can result in cowl paint damage, so make sure you are familiar with this issue before you pull on your wiper knob.
We have all the parts to make your system work properly, including completely rebuilt wiper motors and the components linked in the text above. Feel free to call our parts specialists anytime at 203 208 0980 if you need help with your car.
