I've just bought a couple of blades from James Paddock.

Unfortunately, they only have the 16" length in stock.

With them being oem I was concerned that they may have deteriorated with age but they seem ok. The packs were well sealed.

Have you thought about trying the new style wiper blades - no metal frame just bendy plastic.

I have a used set from my peugeot - far too long, but have a sort of similar mounting pin arrangement.

I'll have a try and let you know.

I think what Waynes saying is it would benefit from a more modern, more powerful motor. Mine, even after regreasing can struggle a bit on dry screens particularly at highish speeds.

I too would be interested in any answers.
