Wiper spindle problem
Posted: Sat May 26, 2018 12:08 pm
Hi all,
I was going to change the rubber buffer/seals on my wiper spindles as they leak quite badly. Doing so I have opened a can of worms as the spindles themselves have corroded quite heavily and the thread just crumbled away from under the nut (they look to be aluminium). I think I am going to have to change the mechanism for the wipers but how easy is this to do? I imagine I will have to strip out the dash at least. Can replacement mechanisms be bought?
