Hi All
My 89 Portuguese-built GTL has the usual (and pretty feeble) wiper arms and after-market blades. Someone has made the arms fit the blades by wrapping the arms in insulating tape and ramming them I to the blade, which is not ideal. I'd like to renew both arms and blades but can find no-one who can supply suitable arms, and I have no confidence that the various blades on offer will fit the current arms even with an adaptor.
The arms are 5mm wide.
Hoping to be able to fit arms that would allow me to use more widely-available blades, I looked at VW Beetle (70-73) wiper arms, but the spindle diameter is too large on these, so no go.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
