Wipers Stopped Working
#1
I was driving home yesterday and my wipers stopped working. When I triggered the wipers I could still hear the motor moving so I stripped the wipers and cover off to identify that the arms had come off the motor spindle. So I have placed them back on however, I am worried that they will come back off again and now we are moving into winter. Is there supposed to be a bolt/nut on the end of the spindle to prevent them from coming off? If so does anybody know what size it is supposed to be?

Image taken from one for sale on Ebay - looks to be an M8 nut.

Its a M8 flange nut which needs a 13mm spanner and not sure but I seem to think its a left hand thread .

The nut will not have gone far so I would go magnet fishing in the scuttle area , very few places where the nut could go out of the space

This is where it keeps coming off. It doesn't appear to accept a nut.
