WTB: Windshield wiper parts

[gtluke]

I haven't taken mine apart yet to see exactly what I need, but my passenger side wiper drive is real lose. I need the nub that sticks up to outside the car and whatever is attached to it underneath the cowl. I'll buy the whole mechanism if you have it. I don't need the motor though, but will take it in a package.
Let me know what you have and how much shipped to 07004

I might be able to get this for you if somebody else doesn't chime in

Crap, I haven't looked. Is the passenger side the primary drive and the driver side use linkage?

Good thing you said something, I just did a parts search /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif You are correct the motor is on the passenger side, and there is linkage that drives both wipers.

HERE is another thread on here about the linkage, Iceman has a good tip: Quote:
One of two things has happened: You stripped the splines off the drive stud, or you had a loose wiper arm and now the splines on the stud have carved out too big a taper in the wiper arm. Check the stud. If the splines are ok, you need to replace the wiper arm.




Now, there is a small access panel on the drivers side right next to the wiper arm

Through there you can see the end of the linkage


I did a bit of online searching for any linkage parts and only came up with clips and bushings, so it looks like a junkyard or someone on here are your options for sourcing the part.

hmm,
I can tighten down mine just fine, even with the wiper arm off you can grab the stud and wobble it around. I guess I have to pull it apart before I figure out which part I need.
My problem is that since the stud is moving, the arm doesn't press as hard as it should on the arm, and onto the windshield.

But I definitely don't need the motor, I just need the linkage that goes up to the passenger side, or the whole thing.

anyone? anyone? I just want to buy the whole mechanism that's under the cowl.

I can get it for you but I still don't know which part u need. Can u take another pic and circle which part you need?

 

[gtluke]

finally had a minute to take it out. It's the drive for the passenger side wiper. popes out pretty easy from the 3 bolts holding it to the cowl and the rod driving it from the motor, and the rod going over to the driver side version of this.

 

[GSX_TC]

alright so thats the piece you need, what part am i checking on it to see if its not broken like yours?

 

[gtluke]

The top picture you can see how it wore away completely through itself.
I THINK I caused this, I moved my wipers so they parked really low and they slightly tapped the hood, and kinda clunked when set on high. I think it caused that damage over 12 years. haha
I doubt yours are damaged.

Alright then, the next time i go to the junk yard i'll get that for you, but untill then let me know if you get one so i dont end up with something i dont need.
