John90 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) The metal connecting rod with two plastic sockets that push over the ball linkages repeatedly fell off at one end of my wipers in Belgium yesterday, so I was left with one wiper which occasionally would jam and stop. It kept falling off so I removed the arm completely leaving just the one wiper working. Fortunately I still made the ferry to Dover. (Warning My car is LHD) Part number is 6x1955326a. Can you get just the plastic sockets, is there some other trick out there? It happened before on a different Lupo 3L (near Venice that time, never happens at home!). I popped that one back on and all stayed put until the car caught fire a few years later.... Edited November 17, 2017 by John90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 they wear out and the plastic becomes too worn to remain on the stub, best change the link, they are often for sale on ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm sure you can get like repair clips? They're not great but they'll get a few more years out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John90 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Thanks Skezza. Never heard about those wiper clips before, just ordered two off UK ebay for £4 inc post... Should be a perfect stop gap. The new complete arms for sale in ebay germany, 7 euros inc free post to Germany so have had one sent to a drop box account I have in Germany.
