Wiper arms

[grantw]

Has anyone recently replaced their wiper arms? Mine are quite corroded and they don't seem to be applying enough pressure to the wiper blades.

Found these as they seem to be by far the best value - just need to measure for the fit

Had a quote on genuine and it was £120 for the two!

If you find these fit please let me know as mine are at the end of their lifespan too. Thanks!

Hi, I know it's an old thread, but did you have any luck finding the wiper arms?

I was just thinking about this the other day .... still haven't measured them!

Now it also looks like the link I did find is dead.

I ordered a set from Toyota and wished I had asked the prices first

The front arms were £62+VAT each and the rear was £40+Vat!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I had a quiet sit down as I handed my payment over!

Did you get an arm and a leg for that price ?

I had mine sandblasted and repainted. The only thing that offers the pressure on the windscreen is the spring. Make sure it's still strong and that the "hinges" aren't full of dirt.
If the hinges are fill of dirt and won't turn easily, the spring won't work. If I got mine back from the paintjob, I had the turn them a couple of times so that the hinges were free again.

Yeah I think I'll go down the repainting route then.
