Wiper Arms…….help

[craig614]

Hi
i need new wiper arms (not the blades) for my Altea and according to Seat they are on back order with no date of availability plus they’re a whopping £107 plus VAT each. Does anyone know if wiper arms from another Seat fit?
Help………

Hello, I don't want to be nosey but why do you need a new wiper arms, I have never heard of replacing them ?

I had to replace the wiper linkages as they were seized. The splines on the old wiper arms are knackered and just slip on the new linkage splines.
