Should the hole in the wiper arm have serrations to grip and match those on the wheelbox spindle?
The hole in my wiper arm seems stripped and worn.
Cheers, Gavin.

Re: Wiper arm
It should have serrations/ splines, not be a polished ali surface which tends to indicate it's been too loose and then slipped an warn away the splines.

Re: Wiper arm
Thanks Andy.
Has anyone ever found a suitable replacement arm other than the Lotus part? A new Lotus one is over £40.
Cheers, Gavin.
