After seven years of owning my Westy I'm still very dissatisfied with the poor quality, dependability of the windshield wiper OEM setup. I'd like to improve on the small wiper arm drive screw attachment. I've got an 83 and I don't remember seeing an improved wiper drive system on later models in wrecking yards. Several times a year, either on snowy days or when there is sleet / frozen rain on my windshield the wiper arms strip their serrations and get askew. Although I try to think ahead and break the arms loose, I invariably overlook this several times a year and grind out my wiper arm serrations. Anybody got any practical upgrade experience to fix this problem?
