- How many wipers are standard on a 77 roadster? All of the illustrations I've seen seem to have two, but mine has three. Is this common? (It's not that I mind all of the DPO modifications, I just wish

- Open mouth, insert foot. A little more checking on the web (not in the Haynes manual) and I found lots of late roadsters with three wipers. Kimo Tichgelaar "The rose has thorns which the poet fails t

- I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. My 77B has 3 wipers and I believe those that were imported to the states had to have 3 wipers. I believe there was a regulation stating the coverage that the

- This is quite amusing because 3 wipers would be more useful in the UK due to the amount of rain we have. Midgets of course were the same - such a small piece of glass as well! Cheers Chris Nevard ~~~

- The wiper blades on my '66 B were very tired last year. I bought standard Trico plastic replacement blades for $3.85. They were too long and needed a notch cut in one end.....but with a little creat

- Hi Tom, Sounds like old, stiff, smelly grease to me. That stuff will reduce the speed of the wipers noticably, and they aren't swift when in A1 shape. You're doing the right thing. Buy Rain-X Bob
