What cars have washers built into the wipers?
Looking for a combined unit for my GT40 kit as I need washers for SVA.

Some Renaults as well. Not sure which but I remember collecting a few when I worked at the local dealership to use on my rally car. They are a piece of black plastic tube with a few small holes along the lenth, the water pipe fits on the end. The whole piece can be removed from the wiper arm and fitted to any car/wiper.

Leven Technology in Basildon do a nice upgrade for the TVR ones for about 60 quid. Replaces the leaky tubes with proper washers built into the arms. Might be worth a look?

Just here to confirm with Davey P, Mercedes make them and are fitted to their recent Sprinter Vans, but don't know if they fit them to their cars.
