Rich, et. al.,
Thanks for all your thoughts on this. I looked at the Trico adaptor and I
don't think it will help any since its mounting mechanism is the same as a
standard 1/4" smooth spindle wiper arm. Looks to me this will spin around
on the shaft too.
Back to my original question - anyone have a good suggestion that will get
the Wiper Arm on both my BN1/A90 to firmly hold on to the smooth wiper
spindle?
