With my 35, [with dual wipers] I went to a local wrecking yard and bought a rear windscreen wiper motor out of a small Jap hatchback [I 'think' it was a Ford Laser]. Thing is, they sweep through 120 degrees, and have a shallow profile to fit within the constraints of the rear hatch, so fit in behind the header. I did have to open the hole for the wiper tower a wee bit, but now I have good wipers! Go check out your local wrecking yard.
There is some outfit over your country called 'mighty wiper'...dunno about them. Here in the colonies we tend to be creative. lol
