Hi All,
I desperately need help with a wiper issue. My drivers side wiper is stripped of the splines. Dealer wants 110.00 plus labor to install a new one. I found replacements for both drivers and passengers for $32 each, but when I got them, they came without splines in the connection. The company says this style "makes it's own" once it's installed. All the auto parts places don't carry the arms and have never heard of arms coming without splines. My mechanic says she's never heard of arms coming without splines & won't be liable for any damages during installation.
I've looked at tons of youtube videos, ebay listings, dozens of websites, junk yards and I'm having a very hard time trying to find wiper arms at all that fit and I'm getting pretty frustrated at the conflicting information I've been getting. Do I risk damage and install the non-splined ones on the advice of Late Model Restoration?
Is this normal for replacement parts for Ford? Help, please!
