Hi,

Does anyone have a spare headlamp wiper arm, please?

I only need one (top one wiith the hinged nut cover). - I will obviously take a set.

In actual fact, I don't even need the full arm, just the plastic end piece that holds the ball part of the wiper blade(not sure if it can be separated). Mine is a bit loose, so the wiper blade is not as secure as it should be and falls off.

Please see the image to get the idea of what I am after.

Many thanks.

This was posted on the faceache page a while ago. I have not tried any of it yet but I was going to get a set because it's not IF but WHEN the original stuff will break even if you get good bits now.

Someone made wiper blades a while ago and I kicked myself when they stopped and I only got 1 set to try. :banghead:

HI flybynite,

Thanks for that. The bit that I want is available at $25. USA company?

I'll check and order, but thanks again!

Yes, Dubai. Order despatched by Fedex.

Thanks again. It's a very small part, but it irritates me that the wipers are not complete.
