Oxymoron Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Hi, Went to replace the rear wiper today, having just changed the front ones and managed to break the securing clip from the wiper arm! On closer inspection, the whole wiper arm is made of brittle plastic and is a one piece moulding, including the securing clip!.....I've therefore had to order a replacement arm! Parts man said... "They don't usually break that easily!" What would normally be a straightforward job has turned into a real pain! :angry: Cheerz. :blink: Quote
Terry1100 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I did that to ours while lifting it off to clean the car. Fortunately it broke in such a way that when placed back against the screen the blade stays in place - and it still works (some months later) ! Quote
Oxymoron Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Hi, Well the part arrived today! I had to resort to my trusty bearing puller to remove the old wiper arm, as it was stuck fast on it's spline! The replacement arm only cost £7.67 including vat, so at least it wasn't an expensive job! Cheerz. :angry: Quote
