1G Broken Wiper Arm

[johnk]

First snow of the year and I got ice all over my wipers. Slapped them on the windshield and snapped the plastic clip part that holds the blade on the arm. I've tried calling parts stores around me like NAPA and CAP neither one lists a replacement. I'd rather avoid the junk yards since they are under snow. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Or do the 2G arms fit on the 1G with maybe different style blades??

The original arms didn't have any plastic clip.

If you look at the arm you notice that the end has an adapter screwed on. Most replacement blades will have a matching adapter for their system in the package.

Ya I did notice I was trying to epoxy the thing back together for a temporary solution. I will look into those replacement blade kits after work thanks.

Thanks just what I was looking for. I bought a micheline type it had 3 different adapters and fit perfectly although a bit bulky and ugly it will do the job.

Any pack of replacement wipers (not refills) will include those clips.
