Abstract

A wiper system for a vehicle comprises a wiper arm and blade 1 pivotally attached to each front door 2 of the vehicle so as to wipe the front window in the vicinity of the door mirror 7, and a wiper arm and blade 3,28 mounted on a guide 4 on the mirror so as to translate laterally across the mirror surface. The guide 4 is flexibly mounted at 5 to allow the blade to contact the mirror surface at all angles of adjustment of the mirror. Both wipers are operated via cables 10,17 by a single motor 9 mounted in each door, the cables being connected to a reciprocating arm 27 of the motor so as to act in unison. Washing nozzles 20 may also be provided.
