windshield wiper arms

[cetme1]

Is anyone making wiper arms for our Buicks anymore? I need a new passenger side, but could not locate one at the usual parts stores. Guy at the counter said the black GN parts were no longer available. Did see one on ebay for big bucks, but not going that route yet. What are you guys doing now?

I have a couple used in good condition, and would be willing to part with them. Let me know if you don't find a new one.

I bought a pair for highway stars. I don't remember them being unreasonable.

I bought one off amazon, but it was stainless not black. Scuffed it up and shot it with duplicolor trim black.

Works great no issues with ice either it moves right through it.

4-40 screws you can barely see them.

And they will never flop around and not close right either.

X2 on the duplicolor Trim Black. Just did a set the other day to freshen them up. I use the grey scotchbrite pads to scuff them down before paint.

Thanks for all the help. I found a new passenger side arm for only 60 bucks (ouch), but that was less than half of the price of a drivers side one. I figure the new one should work for another 26 years.

If the knurled part of the arm is still knurled well, then yeah.

Any looseness and it will eat up the inside of the new arm a few years quicker.

It's difficult to replace that part on the mechanism as well.

Good luck.
