Ford Ka rear wiper... Did any of u have this prob..?

[heyiwanafly]

Got the ka wiper from scrappie, and its not fitted yet, i know the 13mm fitting doesnt fit as nova fitting is 10mm.. How do i fit it? And also even if it is fitted, the wiper doesnt seem to fit the windon, theres a gar, the blade isnt fully touching, how have any of u resoloved this problem?

I didnt know that the Ford Ka wiper fitted anyway? You might want to look at getting a Toyota Yaris rear Wiper or a Honda Jazz rear wiper as both of these bolt straight on.

the hole in the yaris wiper is too big......

you could be really clever and get a collar made for it or whatever, but i used a thin piece of cut to shape nylon plastic, wrapped it around the spindle, and then nipped the wiper up tight - that way the nylon (cos it soft) compresses on the knurled bits on both the wiper and spindle, and the wiper will rotate with the spindle and it grips it tight enough.
