You can get replacement wiper holder thingys from Ripco or Supercrap including the rubber insert. (Not the whole arm, just the top bit)

just wondering if anyone has succesfully upgraded the wiper arm assembly on a sierra. mine are shit house and i have new blades, i just think the arms are worn and dont put enough pressure on the windscreen also too much movement in the arm assembly, they seem to stop in different places each time, and yes thay are tight on the shaft. it is like all the rivets and joints are worn on the arms.. |

it's probably the plastic joints in the linkages. they are about $50 for a new linkage set from suzisport, pretty expensive when all you need is a little plastic bit, but you can't buy just the plastic bit. |

My 88.5 does not have the proper arms to accept the normal "Wiper holder thingys" My 91' does. |

My 91' does. There's a few different mounting types, they usually cater for most |

this stuff is awesome!! used it years ago on the RangeRover when the passenger wiper died.. highly recommended.. The wax at high pressure car washes tend to do the same.. really beads the water.. |

I always found with rainx on my sierra the wind made a big line of water sit on the screen right in front of you

Just bend the arm so it sits tighter on the screen |

Oh, and 1 new rubber blade does 2 wipers!  Talk about cost effective!
