Wiper arm cap? - part number

[Keir]

About to buy this

The rear wiper arm doesn't have the cap that goes over the fixing & washer jet, how much are these and how would I get one?
Also the wiper arm itself doesn't look level like others do, what's up with that?
cheers.

You need to undo the wiper arm and reposition it, 5 minute job


Contact Dave @ SERE Motors on here he would be able to provide you a cap if i remember correctly there about £5

ahhm so it looks like someone's had it off for some reason and not put it back right and left the cap off?

I'll contact the local SEAT deal here about the part if it's only £5, is it the same washer arm cap for all SEAT's?

The cap should be same as Pre-Facelift Leon one!

You could fit a Facelift Leon wiper which iirc was £24 in total for the full thing and it looks like this...IMHO abit nicer but im not sure if its long enough for the Altea

Hi ...

cap is partno. 5P0 955 435 -B .... and at least it's a lot cheaper over here in Germany, as far as I recall, it was somewhat like 2,50 Euro (~ 2£).

Got my part this morning
Looks like it just clips on.

How Do I re-position the wiper arm?

 

[Keir]

Guys. Just been out thinking all I needed to do was undo the top nut move the arm, tighten the nut and clip on the cap. But the arm didn't wanna move. Do you have to pull it of or something, or is it just weathered on?

 

[MWG]

It should pull off with a bit of force, try tapping it gently to loosen it first

 

[AndrewJB]

I put a screwdriver behind mine and ease it off! they do get fast on if its not been off for a while

Just dont smash rear window or drop wiper on bumper

 

[Keir]

ahhh I was trying to just run it without taking it off.

Cheers guys, I might take the spanner to work and do it tomorrow as it's too dark to do it now lol.


edit - done this now. looks so much better, cheers guys.
