Help sourcing part for a Fiesta! - Richie_green

Hello,

I am looking for a part for my sisters fiesta that is a nightmare to acquire. We need just the plastic fitting which the rear wiper clips into. Been to scrappies and no luck and tried ebay but no luck. I guess we may have to buy the entire arom and fit this but the arm is fine - any ideas?

I assume you mean mk 4/5? these clips in the arm go brittle so you really need to buy new
remember they only have a posh arm on them ,why not fit a mk3 wiper arm then you can load it with £1 blades from aldi or similar

Yes, its for a Mk4. Where would I get a mk3 wiper arm in decent nick from?
Cant believe how easy it snapped in my hand!

I had to buy a new (front) pivot nut cap from Ford a year or two ago. The screen I looked at also showed the price of the arm - about £15 IIRC. Save your troubles and go get a new one at these prices!
