Re: Wiper arm ‘spindle’
sorry to jump in on this thread, but you have a picture of a black plastic internal piece, on top of the wiper boxes, which goes inside the car, i guess to keep the angle correct for the outer bezel, do you know if these are available to buy ?

interior door locking bar
hello
on the minor, there is a bar that goes from the interior door lock to the handle, and this scrapes on the window, there is a thin cord type material on it, which makes contact with the window, i guess acts as a scraper, i have one missing from one of the bars, what is it, and can i buy it ?,
