Title: 1998 Scorpio estate rear wiper
Post by Wadman on Feb 23^rd, 2011, 10:55am

Ordered a replacement wiper blade on the internet which plainly said for rear wiper. Received item which fitted front wipers not rear, and as we all know, the fitting is different.
Don't think breakers will be any good as want new wiper. Any suggestions please.

I did put wiper from VW Jetta mkII or something? Maybe it was from Almera, can't remember. It was just good because of being so short. I just used adaptor which is for "???" and bored hole through adaptor, and then put bolt through wiper and arm.

Works and it's better than original (slightly longer, not too much.)

So basically, getting universal windshield wiper with same or little bit longer lenght than scorpio rear wiper, gets it done. But note universal wiper must come with adapters. Usually they do.

Bolt used was something like M5 size.

If it is just the wiper BLADE you are after try asking a Ford dealer for 1066488. I have a note of that number from way back when I got one for mine. Let us know how you get on. :)

Update. A search on Google brought This up (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Problems;action=display;num=1131557068) !!!!. Hope it helps.
