Wiper spline damage • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I need to repair the wipers on my '70. The spline on the pivot attaching point is rounded off on both wipers. Has anyone found replacement parts for this or a repair kit. I have seen people drill through the wiper arm and put a small bolt through it but, that looks real bad. :s006:

Err. Yeah. I put a sheet metal screw in one of mine... :oops:

Hello Eddie,
I can repair the part with a replacement spline. You are speaking of the knurled cap that is on the pivot on the cowl. Correct?
If so , no problem. Wiper pivot complete rebuilds are $85 a pair. Complete linkage with pivots rebuild is $195. Just to repair the one damaged pivot is $25. All prices do not include shipping.
See attachments.
Thanks
Jules

I am heading to Carlisle Pa. this Thursday in my quest to throw more money into the Mopar pit. :shock:

I hope some of you are going to make it also.
Thanks again... Gord
