monacowner Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hey Gang, I lost my driver side wiper during our cross-country trip with the family this summer. Only the arm that extends from the motor remains. I contacted Wiper Technologies, and they said they don't carry the 32’’ arm part # 1433290, which is apparently what I need. They do have a 29" version, which I may end up having no choice but to buy. Anybody know of another source? I have included a few pics in case they prove helpful. Thank you! Don Here are those pics I promised. I was able to find these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Windshield-Motorhome-Recreational-Vehicle-Refills/dp/B07H4DG5D3/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=B07H4DG5D3&qid=1628775411&sr=8-1 They look promising, although it's hard to tell how the included hardware ligns up with my wiper arms. My MH is listed in the list of MHs that these wipers supposedly work on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Here are those pics I promised. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. But mine broke off at the attachment point. When I was at visone 6 months latter they got me a matching pair off a 2001 Signature sitting out front. Now I have 1 spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I no longer spend the exorbitant price that they get for the 32 inch RV wiper blades. Last time I did that they were over $50 each. I switched over to the 28 inch Michelin Stealth Wiper Blades which I buy at most Walmart's around the country. I would JB Weld the piece back onto the arm and let'er rip. Edited August 12, 2021 by Dr4Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigPIlot Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Check NAPA. As I recall I bought a pair from them a few years ago. May not be 32" but seem to work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the amazon blades I found don't work (see link above), I may end up doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Don, Maybe I didn't explain myself exactly, but when I spoke of using JB Weld, that was only for the rectangle U shape base part which holds the blade and washer port to the long arm. Once that part is remounted back onto the long arm using JB Weld then any size blade up to 32 inch can be mounted to the rectangle U shape base using the bolt and nut that are presently in there now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard. That's what I had understood. If you can, I'd love to see a pic of your solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Wonder if you can purchase aftermarket 'airfoils' that would help keep the wipers planted to the windshield 🤔? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSchweizer Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Wal Mart. But you may have to modify the connection. There are several options use original piviot mount n place a bolt thru the side of wiper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monacowner Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Thanks everyone! I'll report back on my success with my 32" blades from Amazon. At just over $25 /blade (blade and holder that is), it's worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allphase8 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Rome Truck Parts, Rome GA. Had everything to replace the parts I needed for my 2006 Camelot. I run 28" wiper arms for what it is worth. They work fine. Ron 2006 Camelot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
