Re: mk2 punto wiper linkage upgrade. from £30.20

My passenger wiper bar fell off (seems to have eroded or lost a washer or whatever) about 2 months ago. I put off getting it sorted (as I was going on holiday) and for a temporary solution I just kept re-attaching it but would only "last" a few wipes. Today we had an extremely heavy down pour so it was annoying, and to make matters worse my drivers side went aswell!

I had a look around on the net & saw this thread, so I've just purchased one off ebay. I'm looking forward to getting this problem solved!

Re: mk2 punto wiper linkage upgrade.

Oh I'm definitely getting me some of those! I've been holding the drivers side linkage on for weeks now by superglueing a five pence peice on to the end of the ball joint to stop the linkage arm falling off which it does every 20 wipes or so! This is so much cheaper than buying the entire assembly!

Re: mk2 punto wiper linkage upgrade. from £30.20

Re: mk2 punto wiper linkage upgrade. from £30.20

if your drivers side linkage breaks use your passenger side as a ready made single conversion by re-positioning the wiper blade
