Thread: Wiper pivot post hardware

    Wiper pivot post hardware

    Hi all-

    The wiper pivot arms were rusted in place. I was able to clean with wire wheel and metal prep to get clean metal and free the arms from the threaded posts. The hardware on the arms is toast and I haven't found a source to replace the clips and very thin flat and wave washers. Can anyone suggest a source?

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    There is a junk yard in Emeryville that will just sell you a replacement wiper transmission assy that you can just install without taking it apart. Those things were not designed or meant to be taken apart, anyway. Sorry, Ron. I couldn't resist.

    Regards

    Jim
