Hello TMFers

 

I seek the great wisdom and knowledge of the TMF forum

 

my windscreen wiper blade springs have rusted through - they are about 7.5cms long end to end the springy part is about 4cms long

 

can I find them or something like them anywhere - no I cannot

 

I hate to buy a whole wiper arm - anybody got a source or a good home fix for this

 

thanks for your time :)

Hello again,

I am sure someone else has had the same issue - thanks if you can help

Which type of arm is it?  I'm sure you can find a suitable spring that would fit. Loads at Mini Spares:https://www.minispar...wiper arm .aspx

never ever changed a spring yet.

It looks like the regular wiper arm, but I don't want to buy a whole arm and just toss the old one when all I need is a spring

it came off a project car I am rebuilding - so the car has been sitting for about 10 years, the springs just crumbled up when I took the wipers off to check them

 

length and diameter need to be fairly similar, my local diy store didn't have any close matches

still looking

thanks for reading anyways

 

looks like this if this helps - cheers
