Re: Need some windshield wiper help.

On this note...does anyone know where you can find the wiper arm helpers? You know, the long spring-like arms that attach to the wiper arms and press them down against the windshield? I've looked high and low...

Re: Need some windshield wiper help.

I would suspect that the know hooked to the cable is the switch that mounts on the dash.
