Replacement for wiper arms and pivot?
Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:02 pm
Please correct my terminology... Ive had an issue with the wipers since i first owned the truck. The pivot arms that push through the windshield frame are stripped on the outside, so the wipers tend to fall below the seal and jam up. Today i attempted to tighten the screws on the wiper blade arm and it wound up splitting the wiper blade arm at the base. Need a new arm.
After the winter, ive noticed that INSIDE the truck, the wipers pivot below mid point and cannot bring themselves back. They jam up. I have a feeling this is indicative of wear due to the outside issues. Any ideas on how i can limit the travel so it doesnt cross the mid point? (The wiper motor travels 360 degrees, but the pivot arms have a much smaller radius of travel. If the push past a horizontal angle, they jam and cannot return)
Is there a VW alternative to the wiper blade arms and the pivot arms?
