Stainless steel wiper arms defender
Hello, does anyone have a supplier suggestion to sell me some stainless steel wiper arms?

Or any recommendations for a good quality make of black ones?

Mine have rusted badly in the 18 months since it was put back on the road. I don't know what make they were, but probably generic cheap ones.

The blades are even worse, but I can replace them with Bosch, which seem ok on other cars.

Thanks.

I understand exactly what you mean, my replacement wiper arms seem to have lost their paint Shocked

Just about the whip them off and re-paint them as step one along with replacing the rubber spindle covers that have almost completely disintegrated since fitting them. Some parts are utter rubbish...


As for stainless wiper arms have a look at the classic car stores as the Defender shared the arms with other vehicles.

Are classic Mini wiper arms the same?

Depends what spindle boxes you have. The early ones were just snap on to the splines, while the later ones have a through hole and a nut on them.

Quick google search can find SS version of the former design. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
