My A90 has essentially the same wiper spindles as the BN1, and it is miserable!! Actually, these questions apply to my BN1 as well so here goes... 1) The spindles are round and smooth which makes it

Oh the horror! But then again I like your British "special tool" approach to life. Was hoping maybe put some adhesive on there, or threadlocker, or tape? What works best? Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '64 BJ

Speaking of wiper arms and screws, I have one woper arm that I have had for years. The arm is adjustable (slides in and out of the main arm body), and at the end of the sliding arm there is a curved

I've seen the ones you are describing and they were period aftermarket items...sort of a "one arm fits all". The originals were not adjustable in length and did not have a screw on the outer end for
