    Anco makes an adjustable wiper arm. The Rover unit has the top-hat shaped
    adapter on the wiper's spindle which has one set screw. The Anco unit has
    a cylinder-shaped adapter with two allen screws, but the center hole in the
    Anco adapter has to be enlarged a milli-micron or so with a rat-tail file -
    or a proper drill size (which I can never find when I need it). The Anco
    kit also has little rubber gromet thingies which keep water from running
    down the wiper's shaft into the wheelbox - or motor. The last time I went
    looking for mere wiper blades, I had to go to 6 places, as no one carries
    10" refills anymore. 11" will work, but just barely.

    Cheers
