Wiper Spring?
dhutch - 8/10/10 at 11:59 AM

When i got the car the spring holding the pass wiper to the glass was broken. The look had just fractured of the end.

As a cheap fix i re-temped the end a bit and bend it back into a loop. That lasted a year.

Then i did that again and it last 6 months.

Now there just isnt enough lenght left, so i need a new spring!!


Anyone found a supplier of suitable springs bought 25 due to min order requirments, and got 23 left that they could sell me a pair of?


Very common wipers, standard fitment to all westfields and a dosen other cars.

I've got some old stock wiper springs somewhere.What length/dimentions are they? Then I'll have a look whatI've got.

I found the arms quite cheap anyhow.. Might be worth replacing the arms (they tend to wear after a while anyhow)..
