Rear Wiper arm

[peter thomson]

Hi has anybody found a reasonable price for a rear wiper arm. My one does not work in the top half of the screen so i assume the spring is failing. Mitzi want £47 for one.

I got a replacement at Halfords Peter ..... a couple years ago and it certainly wasn't £47!

EDIT: Let me just go see if any part numbers on it ........

EDIT 2: No part numbers on it Pete but I have a vague recollection that I bought a larger one than was already fitted on MY VR4. This one is 15 inches if that helps - not sure what standard size is.

Thanks I'll go and have a look in there today.

I have the same problem with the top half of the glass being missed a bit. Mine was a lot worse when i first got iy, but i found the hinge on the arm had seized a bit over time. Try giving the higne a good soaking in WD40 or similar and then follow up with some slightly thicker oil.
Might be worth a try first?

That's what I did with mine, and no probs now

Thanks Paul I'll give that a try first. Nice cheap fix if it works.
