Default Need help with a part

Hey guys. I went to a car wash yesterday and it ripped a part of my windshield wipers off and shot it out of the wash at one of the employees. I don't know the name of this part, or where to find it, so I figured I would ask you guys.




This is where it goes:




By the way, they will be paying for it.

It's part of the wiper arm. You'll have to get an all new right side wiper arm. They are around $70 depending on where you live.

Thank you craby. Do you know if these are the ones with the reversed hooks? It's kind of difficult to find wipers, I figured since I was forced into changing them I might as well upgrade.

Yes they have the reversed hooks. You can't find any of these style that have the other hooks. Only the 98+ have the inward hook but they are a different style and hard to find. I've thought about cutting them off and flipping them around but I don't know what kind of metal it is or how hard it would be to weld them nicely.

If I could find a really nice wiper blade to fit them I wouldn't mind, but the ones I find suck.

Mine fell off the other day at the carwash too... I am just going to remove the semi-good one, and paint the metal arm.

Although if they are paying for it, why not

I know exactly how you feel. I ordered the arms for the 98+ but then they didn't have the end caps for them so I cancelled the order. The only ones that work are the metal ones with the high arch to them.
