    Plastic Wiper piece broke, replacement or new arm?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I broke the following piece, Passenger side, (outlined in red)..not the tab. Anyone know if I can just buy that replacement part from a dealer or do I need to do the whole arm?




    Edit::

    I think I found it!

    Maybe not
    This clip is located in the standard wiper blade, not to be confused with the clip that attaches it to the arm.

    You need a new arm. It's a good time to upgrade to the aero arms/blades though, where you'll never run into that issue again.

    That part you circled is the part you have linked from ECS.

    I was going to do that, but ECS won't have them shipped until Mid March. I need to have the vehicle inspected asap and I believe Wiper blades is a criteria. Mine are torn.

    ECS Specifies that it isn't, unfortunately.

    I have a set of aero wipers off our parts S4. Most likely needs new blades, but I can get those as well if you want. Shoot me a PM if you're interested

    I am pretty sure that is the part you are looking. I think ESCs wording is a little misleading. #1 this part is not located in the wiper blade. #2 the clip that attaches the wiper to the arm.


    I think the wording is what is throwing you off.

    Now that I look at them both side to side, I think you're right. I think the wording is throwing me off.

    Almost positive now that This is what I'm after.

    The one you linked above and the one in the post where you circled the part that broke are the same.

    I went ahead and ordered a set of Aero blades from Matt (Sales@DriveAuto). Great communication. That way I won't have to deal with accidentally breaking a plastic clip again.
