[QUOTE="boatbuilder, post: 25377, member: 1055"] Ok thanks for all the help. Turns out I've been having a stupid moment :oops: The 10mm long grub screws holding the wiper blades on are loose, and because of the wear on the spindle and wiper arm socket, the grub screws aren't long enough to clamp it tightly enough, resulting in a sloppy wobbly wiper. Solution: go to local agri. stores and buy two longer M5 x 16mm grub screws Only problem now is trying to put my broken wiper arm back together. Not sure what metal it is made out of...aluminium/steel???? I'm gonna try to get it welded...will mig work? [/QUOTE]
