Wiper arm

[AlexR21]

Anyone know where I can get my paws on adaptors for my straight wiper arms I have those little forks are the minute which hold onto the pin of the wiper and they're pants! The plastics ends can come off. Cheers lads, hope everyone is well!

Not sure what you mean mate do you have a piccy so I can get a grip on what you're asking?

The rounded ends of the arms should hold the plastic fitting in thats attached to the blade body, they clip in. Maybe the retaining clips on yours are broken?

Will grab a photo when I'm home from work dude you will get what I'm saying then! Thanks pal.

The 'forked' ends come with wiper arms only,
If they slide off the only way to keep them on the arms besides new arms is to degrease & slightly rough the area and reglue with clear weather resistance epoxy.
Over the years I have found that the gap for the wiper blade pin opens up, this can sometimes be resolved by gently warming the plastic & then sqeaze them together to the required tension, also some replacement wiper blades the pins are to small & the slot which the arm is inersted to wide which give a very poor fitting blade.
For me it's OE all the time

Can't add much to that! When you fit the blades they should slide in to place with a click. If you can push them back out again without pressing a little release catch (without using brute force at least) then your fittings must be wrong or broken. I'll take a pic of mine later.

Your both top chaps! And ok Dave brilliant. I was contemplating trying to get my hands on some hook wiper arms can I can imagine they're virtually non exsistant now, I need to change the wiper motor really any way it has not got much kick in it anymore does not really work on intermittent unless its hammering down!

Get hold of Simon, he's breaking a grey phase 1 in Birmingham, Wipers may well still be there. It's in the parts forum somewhere.

Phase two wiper arms have the curved ends. You could get a set of any later 21, including savannah.
