Windshield Wiper Arm Replacement?

Post by Chris & Dale »

I believe these are the original arms on Steel Hers. They remain up when you lift them or raise the center window, and have to be pushed down to make good contact. So I'm thinking OEM replacement and was wondering if anyone knows a good source for them, or of a better replacement. Thanks

We replaced our middle arm with a pantograph--it covers a much broader area and does a much better job.

Every couple of weeks I spray a little lube at the pivot and work the arm up and down a little. You might start with some penetrating oil. Rust/corrosion never sleeps. Use a rag behind the pivot area to catch over spray. It doesn't take much.
