Morning. Does anyone know of a wiper blade upgrade to replace the single bladed original?
Thanks

I used to buy one 22 inch wiper and cut the rubber in half and thread it into the old wiper blade.

One of the problems I have is that the blade doesn't seem to conform very well to the shape of the screen. I must have a look at why that is. It results in a screen that gets wiped in a rather patchy way. Rain-X is a useful adjunct to one-speed, not very effective wipers.
