hicksi Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hey team, Have been driving around in the rain using the wipers allot recently. I noticed on the way home the drivers side wiper is over extending and hitting the the painted pillar. Its actually chipped the paint. Its about half and half but somtimes the wiper stops in the correct position and on full chat it goes past this point. Checked the arm bolt was tight, the passenger side has zero play, however the the drivers side can be moved about 2 inches from its resting position. Anyone had this before?

ZMANALEX Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Probably wear on the wiper control mechanism. Plenty in stock if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 When in there check that the mechanism has not simply come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksi Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Evening all, happy sat! Right, had all the cowling off, drivers side arm was an absolute b***h, had to modify an eBay puller to actually pop it off the threads.... Anyway, onwards! So in the pictures I'm pointing at the drivers side arm coupling joint. Or what ever it's called. Looks like there was once a nice rubberised cushion/clip in there, which is now worn and allows for a LOAD of left to right play. There is a small bit of play on the passenger side, but very little and this doesn't affect the stopping point of the arms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does this assembly break down buddy. Are the joints or mechanism arms available separately or do you have to buy the whole assembly? Do you have a website or link? Would like to stay local on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Complete assembly only I am afraid which is not expensive: In stock and good to go same/next day. Just drop me a PM if I can help you any further. @ZMANALEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
