WTB Rear Wiper

[Sean486]

I noticed this morning that the plastic cover over the nut on the rear wiper was shattered. I am not sure how that would have happened but maybe it was just brittle and the cold snapped it??
Anyway I think it is attached to wiper arm so I believe I probably need a whole new rear wiper. If anyone has one let me know.

The plastic head cover is a separate piece. The part number is 86538PA020 and runs about $2.31

There's a plastic cover? Well what do you know... Anyone have a picture of one installed?

Thanks John, I guess I need to take a closer look at it.

The plastic cover lifts (pivots) up from the rear end of the arm to expose the nut. You just put the front edge of the cover (with the curved edge) into the wiper arm and pivot it down to lock.
