914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Windshield washer arm - through body seals

Posted by: watsonrx13 Feb 27 2009, 07:29 AM

I need to replace the windshield washer arm seals, through the body. Currently, my car has none...

The diagram, starting from the lowest position on the arm to the top:

1. washer
2. rubber bushing
3. rubber bushing
4. washer
5. nut
6. plastic cap
7. spring washer
9. wiper arm
10. top nut

I'm assuming that the cowl goes between parts 2 and 3. Are the washers (1 & 4) just standard flat washers? Do I need to specifically order these from a vendor? Is the nut (5) standard also? How important is the spring washer (6), is it needed?

Anyone have any pics of the wiper arm off showing the bushing/washer?

Take a look at the "Wiper Shaft Flange Washer" on the Sierramadrecollection.com site.
