Wiper arm?

 

The snow today caused my passenger side wiper arm to go up, but the driver's side wiper arm stayed down. And now it's limp... doesn't do anything. I can move it up and down with no resistance. It seems like something popped loose or something. I hoping it just a screw I need to tighten, but it's too stinkin cold to look at it right now. This is really a pain when it's snowing like crazy...

 

So... how hard is it to find a replacement wiper arm for an 85 GL? I hope it's not as hard as everything else, because I can't see in the snow!

 

Thanks Guys!

I am not near any of my vehicles to check and confirm, but the wiper arm is splined to the shaft, and attached with either a nut or a bolt (my memory says bolt). IIRC, it is either a 14mm or 17mm head.

 

Others should give you more exact info, but this might help you plan.

Yeah, lift up on the cover at the base of the wiper arm (it hinges where the arm sticks out). There's a nut that probably came loose under there. Tighten that nut (don't go crazy, snug is enough), should be good to go.

 

Please let us know if it works or not.
