Hi guys,
This is my first post. I have had a look through the forums but I can't see anything that answers my particular question.
I bought a 1996 P reg Fiat Brava SX 1.6 which had a missing rear wiper. I figured it would be easy to fix that so it didn't put me off buying the car.
I ordered a rear wiper arm assembly from a scrap yard over the Internet and it arrived on Monday. I tried to fit it last night but it doesn't appear to match my car. They definitely took it off a Brava, but maybe there are different types of Brava?
The website link below has a bunch of photos. I'm hoping you guys can take a look at my photos and let me know what part I am missing, or if they've sent me the wrong part altogether?

Some extra details: The wiper motor whirrs just like I would expect it to, roughly every 1.5 seconds if I rotate the stalk control to activate the rear wiper. However if I stand behind the car watching the bootlid, the little round thing that sticks out of the bootlid doesn't rotate when I hear the whirring sound. I guess the rotating is internal and I need some kind of spindle to connect the wiper arm?
I can see some knurled markings on the inner surface of the hole through the wiper arm..
Thats about everything I have to offer, I hope you guys can give me some tips that will help me get this thing sorted out,
Cheers,
Joe
