Title: Wiper Blade nut cover
Post by: floridarandy on October 22, 2017, 10:43:58 am
Just noticed one of the rubber covers missing. Probably good to have one to keep dirt, and bugs out. Any ideas where to purchase.

Randy,

Are you sure it is plastic? You could also replace the nut/cover with an acorn nut such as these:

Cap Nut (10 Pack) (http://www.unityparts.com/cap-nut-10-pk-1/)

Could probably go to a hardware store and get a SS acorn nut, paint it black and be good to go.

Randy,

Yep, I lost mine also.  Foretravel doesn't sell those plastic covers separately.

Oh, I didn't mean nut covers. I'm missing the two, 3" long black plastic covers from the far end of the wiper arms. That is the items Foretravel did not have available separately.

Brett,

I see the nut covers at that website, but not the 3" long black plastic wrap around cover for the outer ends of the parallel arms. Two needed for each arm. Might be hard to find.

Jim,

Might shoot that company a picture and ask them. Wiper parts for our size vehicles is one of their primary businesses.

Randy,
I have replaced the pivot posts and wiper arms on my coach.  Fairly certain that should be an acorn nut.  The original probably fell off and someone put that one on. I got my parts from partdeal.com, but now their website does not seem to be user friendly.  They did sell just the parts such as the nuts, washers, cone drive, etc. and had a list of parts with pictures.  Can not find that now.  Search Wiper Problem 96 U270

Ace hardware typically has an incredible amount of oddball stuff that you can't imagine.
