Wiper problem.

[WM-S12]

I have currently only had one of my front wipers working since around last may or june. The whole linkage bust due to a plastic "Popper thing" ( sorry can't mind the word ) however I replaced them for peanuts but the drivers side works perfectly just the passenger side is knackered.

I've disembled it several times and found out it's the barrel like part that has the grip on the top, which interlocks with the wiper arm itself. Took it apart and it's loose and I tried to fix it but no luck, MOT is due feb 18th ( i presume its an area that needs to pass, not sure as drivers works fine. ) I've not got a picture but I'll do a brief picture and post it up so you know what i'm yabbering about.

My guess is its just worn and needs replaced. Probably get the same part off any other nissan around that similar age ( bluebird....micra...just a guess. )

anyway heres a cheapo image of my problem, will need to get a proper picture but i'm sure it does justice in providing enough info to you guys and girls. Cheers

Ask Will over at Datman. He has all sorts of random stuff.

fired off an email. I'm curious about if it's the same part used by the bluebirds and micra, i'll have to look into it, i mean the bluebird uses the same engine so i presume it should have same wipers parts. ( wild guess )

the nissan system says that part is S12 only, and is nissan part number 28850-01F01- Pivot Assy-wiper, No1. dunno if its available still, just give them that number, they will be able to tell you.

I'll give the closest nissan garage a call, they managed to help me out last time. Must've called them at closing time or something, try again 2moro and let you know the deal.

I had a problem with mine also, the long arm that connects the 2 wipers underneath popped off, so only the passenger side works with the driver side stuck mid screen being clobbered on every pass by the passenger one.

I popped it back on but it kept popping off when the screen was fairly dry, so I bent the arm slightly to get more purchase as it pushes the driver side arm and it seems ok for the moment.

I bought all these bits a couple of years ago from Nissan. Hopefully they will still have some somewhere!

sorry bout the long wait to get myself a paid member, was waiting for money to get into the bank....lol was skint. Right got to get this damn thing working now, let you know how I get on.

spotty dog! Got off the phone after constantly missing the folk at the garage, parts on order and they'll deliver it to me as it'd cost more just to pick it up. About a week to order I was told and costs £26.05

Cheers to everyone who lended a hand, much apprieciated, glad I spent that £10 to become a true member

arrived late today so I've not had the chance to fit it to the car. Will get it done 2moro.


Cheers to umpkin for being the most help, much appreciated
