Snapped front wiper bolt

[t121anf]

Had to remove the wipers today and the passenger side mount snapped, any ideas how to get in to it to replace?

Don't matter got it out.

They're a left hand thread on that side for anyone else trying to remove them.

So I found out :'(

I made new threads in to the center of the old bolt.

Might do similar, the part is stupidly expensive.

I've just had mine replaced, part was £115 but only paid half due to the garage paying other half lol. Get one off eBay mate.

Not many passenger ones, got it apart, fathers taking the spindly bit to a machine shop to see if they can make ones as it's only a tube of metal with a thread on one end (and a couple of splines).

At least it's heading towards summer and I still have the drivers one, well I do now I've refitted my passenger one, despite being 2 separate motors they only work if both are connected.

Oh and my local SEAT dealer quoted £130ish iirc (on a bit of paper in the car, to cold to go out and check) then £27 for a "fitting kit" which is 2 bolts and some rubbers, hahahaha

Fixed, machine shop drilled the threaded part out and out a new threaded part in, can't tell the difference.

Best bit, they did it for free.
