Windshield Wipers

[Insearchof]

Good morning everyone! Last year we purchased a Heritage 36 Sundeck Trawler. We have been taking care of major issues up to this point. Now what I thought would be a simple issue is not. (I should know from owning multiple boats that nothing is but you can hope, right?) The windshield wipers at the lower helm need replacing. Does anyone happen to have any experience with finding replacements (any Heritage owners by chance). We took the panel off to try and at least identify the motor type since there are no marks on the wipers and nothing on the motor either. Auto parts stores have ordered multiple wipers in to try and match but no luck. PO had spare blades (which are standard) but no info on the wipers themselves. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!

I don't know about your specific equipment, but others on the forum have had good success with rebuilding their wiper systems with the help of AM Equipment. Here's a recent thread describing one person's experience. A search of forum topics may yield other happy endings. Best of luck, and let us know what you find and describe your fix.

Greg.

I found replacements for my exalto blades which are much longer than anything I could find locally at auto parts shops on www.defender.com.

Thanks Greg and others. We'll give this a look and let you know what we find.
