silly but help needed

[Precious]

Ok so i bought new windscreen wipers for my split screen morris. I now have them and have no idea what to do with a black rubber plug that came with them. They are rex split screen wiper blades and arms. Any help would be awesome.


Cheers

Did you get them from a morris supplier? don't recognise the make.

[kittyfell]

REX is an old old make. The rubber plug should secure them to the arm, if they are the original arms of course...........

[aupickup]

think you mean TEX

[kittyfell]

Oh yes - TEX it is!!

[Precious]

oh yes tex silly me. The thing i don't get is how the rubber peg holds them in. Does anyone have a picture?

[kennatt]

it simply pushes through the hole in the new blade after fitting them to the arms,and should have a groove round it to hold the plug in place

[Precious]

Lol mine has a odd bit and it got me all confused

[charlie_morris_minor]

glad you got it sorted..

I was beginning to wonder if your car had been converted to use later arms and blades, i seem to recall a conversion kit being sold in the dim and distant past.

[frame][/frame]The peg is 121 in the diagram. I would recommend fitting it the other way up so that it does not drop out.
