Plastic covers for the nuts on the wiper arms - UR

Ahonen · 21-04-15, 11:07 PM

Hello.

Just wondering if anyone can help the teeth pulling exercise that my Quattro restoration seems to have become. The bodyshop has broken the little plastic covers that sit on the wiper arms and cover the nuts that attach the arm to the spline. These bits don't even have a part number anymore, it seems and I've looked through the whole of the Audi Tradition site without success.

Does anyone out there happen to have any in one piece? I may have found a left one, which leaves me one short.

Ta.

Hi if they are the flip covers on the end of the wiper arm and they are the same as a coupe gt l may have a couple can you supply a pic

Yes, those are the ones. I'm pretty sure they're the same as a Coupe as the windscreens are the same. I only have a photo of a broken one, which I'll post on here later today.

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Ah, York is quite far from Northampton!

This has taken more than an evening, but here's a pic of it when it was intact:

I need two, if you have them.

Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately they get very very brittle if they stay out in the sun too long - who is doing your bodywork?
