Title: Help with wiper arm replacement Post by: stait9 on June 07, 2017, 20:51:37 pm Hello
I've recently had an issue with both locking screws on the wiper arms of my 1960 beetle sheering off. Bugger indeed. Anyhow, it seems the arms that were on the car are not standard or I simply cannot find the correct replacements. It is a 1960 sedan. The ones with the problem are thicker and the hole for the shaft is larger as well as the hinge being visible. I bought some replacement arms which allegedly should fit bit they are totally different. The brand name on my arms is: Granero. Does anyone know what these are? Where I can buy replacements? Here's a comparison to what arrived (they are the skinny ones): (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y23/stait9/wiper_arm_comparison_zpssfamlzy8.jpg) (http://s2.photobucket.com/user/stait9/media/wiper_arm_comparison_zpssfamlzy8.jpg.html) Please help someone as I am garage bound at the mo given the great british summer :) Cheers Stuart Title: Re: Help with wiper arm replacement Post by: stait9 on June 07, 2017, 20:52:31 pm I have found these, has anyone bought these or knows of the company?

They are both cheaper AND actually wipes the windscreen :D :D
