    WTB: Wiper Arm

    Hey my drivers side wiper arm has gone all crappy, the paint has started flaking off.

    If anyone is breaking a car, i'd be interested in taking the arm from them


    Cheers

    Fan'bloody'tastic John!

    I thought about taking it off and rubbing down and re spraying, but just figured if I could buy one for a tenner or something, it would be much much less hassle!!

    If ya have any luck, let me know

    Cheers

    I have re-sprayed 3 sets of wiper arms on the 5 galants I have owned. It is something that they do!

    Yep they all do! As a quick repair on mine I just thinly coated the bits where the paint flaked off with waxoyl underseal (black) Lasts for ages and doesn't really show unless you look for it. First done as a quick bodge but it does look a lot better than it did!
