Title: Floppy wiper. Post by: HBG on 21 August, 2023, 08:18:30 PM Hi Folks.
I notice that one of my wipers is a bit floppy. With the wipers off the arm can move maybe 30 degrees. Before I remove the arm and have a look, what are the likely causes of this. Thanks.

The splines look worn to me but it all snugged up OK when reassembled. Let's hope it holds! |
