To repair them one must have source files I suppose.

"Source file" means the original 3D model from 3D Studio Max, Blender, Maya, 3D Crafter, etc.
Only the original modeler has those.

This fault of many F7 units has never been fixed by DTG.

I recall there was a missing animation (.ban) file in the blueprint.

Check this posting for a possible solution: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3358&p=31431&hilit=f7+wiper#p31547
Unfortanely, the linked file is no longer available. Perhaps the fix was being hosted here too, but I cannot seem to find the file.

If you cannot get the wiper to work, drop me a PM and I'll see how I can help you.

The original Kuju F7 is the only one with the faulty wiper I'm pretty sure.

To o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha, I have tried to send you a private message but I'm not sure It has worked. I'm well interested by your offer about the faulty wiper.
