My wipers stopped this morning after a 'bang'.

 

They stopped half way across, so I got out moved them back down and carried onto work, at lunch I pulled it all apart and took out the motor (which was running fine) but the arm had come off the motor.

 

I pulled the arm off the ball joint so I could fix it back onto the motor and replace it then clip in the ball joint all good............

 

BUT!

 

The hole in the end of the arm slipped right over the plastic/rubber thing that looked very worn down on the motor arm and it fell off. After some fiddling I managed to get it to stop on and work okay.

 

Put all the trim back on and sorted and drove home in the rain with everything crossed it wouldn't fall off again, it didn't and I made it back home!! :D

 

What the whole point of this post is;

 

I have asked lots of people and no one knows exaclty what keeps the arm atached to the motor!!!

 

So...............what keeps the arm attached the the back of the motor arm??

 

Matty.

not looked on a zed, but i would have thought the plastic thing that looked very worn ;) should be actually attached to the arm, this should then push on to the ball joint on the wiper motor. you may even find that from new its all just 1 complete linkage :)

Once they go thats usually it - probably won't last much longer but from what I remember, these arms are cheap as chips from Neeesaan ;)
