I wonder if anyone knows if there's a replacement or another manufacturers item which I could use to fit to a pair of headlight wiper arms , as we all know these are no longer available except for copies at silly prices but I just need the 2 x plastic caps which covers the nut securing them to the motor splines .The OEM is fitted directly to the arms which cannot be detached but the pair I have are broken .

Certain Volvo models used a very similar set up, but whether any parts are interchangeable or available, I don't know.

I believe the Volvo 340 used the same motor but their system used a single blade instead of two. I may just purchase one just to see if it's feasible to use the cap. Early Saab 99 used the same motor but they're as rare as hens teeth as well
