YnotDIY Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 hey ya'll curious if anyone has converted the pin style wiper arms on any of the older models with the hook style or with something a little more solid feeling? The pins on my 84 wiper arms are pretty worn out and I'd like to upgrade them, any help / advise would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I haven't personally but I have wondered the same after nearly losing a wiper several times on the freeway. I took a wire bread wrapper and secured through a hole in the blade area to the arm and it has held for a while but I would much rather have a more permanent solution than jerry rigging it.

Gloyale Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I did for my XT and my old GL. Just grab a set of arms from some newer vehichle, subaru legacy or whatever Cut off the end, weld it onto the old EA arm. Paint and reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint and reinstall. that's kind of what I was thinking as well. looks like it's time to get a welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
