Rear wiper

The pin should be several different diameters and when you push the pin through the blade and click it into the arm the right diameters should line up.
I lost my pin [:mad:] so made another one to fit [;)] then found the original[:)] so have studied them at some length!
If the holes are DEFINITELY too small for the pin you can drill them out, but it shouldn't be necessary.
I took this pic a while ago to show something else, but it shows the 2 holes of differing sizes, one with the pin in, and the crossbar, which is sometimes tubular.
1 of the 2 holes should be correct.

When I replaced the one on my old 924S I just removed the rubber blade and replaced that leaving the arm as original, much easier and the replacement blades were only a few pence and just needed cutting to size, bit of a fiddle the fit but only a half hour or so.
 
Thanks for the further replies guys. I'm still convinced that the pin is too small diameter for the holes in the wiper blade. Will have to take another look this weekend

Cheers

Hopefully chances are that you have managed to strip the splines, try removing the wiper and refitting it.......Do not turn the wiper on when the screen is frozen [:(]
 
thanks guys. I've popped the plastic cover off the wiper arm, and a tightening of the retaining nut was all that was needed. Isn't it great when a fix is so simple [:)]
