Be very careful if you tighten it-ask me how I know. I would check Bently for the torque specs so you don't overtighten and snap off the spline. At that point the dash has to come out. Major time or financial committment. David Clarkson 90Westy 264,000 mi. -----Original Message----- From: Gregory S. Morrison <gsm@GREGORYSMORRISON.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 2:15 pm Subject: Loose wiper arm I know there was a very recent thread on how to fix a loose wiper arm, but I can't find it in the archives. Our passenger side wiper arm is really starting to flop around and the splines are very worn. Can someone please forward "the fix" to me? I would prefer to not have to tear out the entire dash assembly nor have to hunt down a part that's no longer available. (Wishful thinking?) Thanks, Greg 86 Westy Syncro |
