Weird windscreen wiper proboes....

flat · Mar 4, 2018

guys.

Weird one.

My drivers wiper arm keeps falling off, not sure why, I have change the small splined head on the spindle and changed the wiper arm itself but still it occasionally falls off when in use.

Not sure why, anyone any ideas?

There is a bit of ‘slop’ in the wiper mechanism in general and it occasionally ‘over-sweeps’ the screen. Could that be the cause?

Cheers

Some of the replacement spindle adaptors are a bit rubbish,I got some old series ones that fit with a bolt not an allen screw.

i think i am going to tap the actual wiper arm and hold them to the spindle with a grub screw :/

Seen that done but it does not last,the wiper arm metal is to thin I recon, but if tapping the spildle adaptor to hold to the spindle axle that should work.

Tell me about, I need counselling after the wiper fell off and I attempted to fix it and failed.
