VlatcheLupo Posted January 9, 2025 Report Share Posted January 9, 2025 This metal bit, its connected to the wind screen wiper. Due to aging, it dislodged from the wind screen wiper itself. I am guessing its the circular rubber bit that should be replaced. Can i find it on internet and how should i search it for? Or maybe something else is the problem?

mk2 Posted January 9, 2025 Report Share Posted January 9, 2025 Take it off, drill a hole in the other end and swap ends... That actually works. Drill the hole slightly too small or it will fall off again. 👍🏻 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VlatcheLupo Posted April 28, 2025 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2025 What if i just put oil on the loose side? Maybe its too try, dirty or corroded so it falls off. Other solution would be to take off the wind screen wiper itself and put a bolt with nut and washers. But i don't know how to remove the ball like part from the wind screen washer hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigcraft Posted April 30, 2025 Report Share Posted April 30, 2025 A quick repair sometimes is to use sheet plastic from a builders cement bag or sand bag. That’s a very thick grade and wrap it round the ball and pop it back through. Done it many times on loose gear levers and similar as it gives it that nice ‘new’ firmness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might, but I have several suppliers who sell anything on demand for very cheap prices (compared to off-the-shelf stores). You must have something like that in North Macedonia too—find out where repair shops get their parts and buy directly from the suppliers.

VlatcheLupo Posted December 28, 2025 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 Managed to find new one and got it delivered to me by regular postal office. I am not able to remove the old one. But i don't want to break something. Should i remove the plastic above the linkage to release some space so that i can remove the linkage more easily? How do i remove the plastic cover then, hmm?

mk2 Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 Remove the wiper arms. Remove the two foam end covers. Remove the rubber seal. Starting at one end, carefully lift the end of the plastic trim away and out of the slot under the glass (clean it before re-inserting). You now have access to the wiper mechanism... Lift and twist the old linkage away from the ball mounting. You may need to remove a sheet metal retaining plate first. Lube with some CV grease, the new ends. Snap them onto the ball connections. Reassemble everything. Worth testing first though... 👍🏻😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space is just too tight to put the new part in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo 1.7sdi Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 You need a wrench with a slightly longer arm (or a socket wrench with an extension arm) and a press to remove the arms. https://www.mtools.ro/scule-speciale-service-auto/prese-speciale/prese-stergatoare-parbriz?srsltid=AfmBOoqeLIQb8L-m7ZVPXftISYtUt8kR7_U2-Z5S-t4YPnKGXu1x5g0X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VlatcheLupo Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 Managed to unscrew one of the bolts. The wiper arm was just stuck. But then i had a large wrench, and with some grease on the plastic nodes, managed to put the arm in place, like so: It works now, complete windscreen is been cleared 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
