Wiper Arms

[diggs31]

Hi, I want to replace my wiperblade arms, they are looking a bit tatty. The guy at the shop seemed to think I had to get them from a main dealer, is this right? Does any other vehicle have the same sized arms?
Also, whats the best grease to use on A:sliding door and B:roof sliding mechanism?
Also Also...does anyone know a good auto electrician in the Blackpool area?
Any help appreciated

The wiper can be rubbed doon with some wet and dry and then painted with mat black aerosol paint job done ,as to the greasing I use a can of chain lube for my sliding door and for my roof on my last van which had an aft roof,hope this helps

I agree with Stevie, I have just done my wiper arms last week. Took then off, removed the blades, rubbed down with wet and dry and three coats of spray hammerite later and they look the biz again. Tin of spray = £10, wet and dry = dunno cos already had it. new wiper blades = ££££££boat loads.
