Replace/repair part on back windscreen

[Davearia]

Hello,

I noticed that the metal part that holds the windscreen wiper to my back windscreen is rusting. We live one street away from the Irish Sea so rust is a big issue/problem for us.

Was wondering what is the best way to fix this? Is it possible to replace it or if it needs cleaning and repainting is it better to do it in while it's still on the car or to remove it? Are there any Youtube videos that anyone knows of that goes through this?

Thanks,

Dave J

Hi Dave, I too experience the corrosive effects of wind driven Irish Sea salt living in West Cumbria.

When I repaired my seized rear wiper I took the opportunity to clean up this nut, while it was off, and gave it a couple of coats of black paint.

@kenhall saw the video below saw I've a good idea how it comes off now. I'll take off off and Kurust and paint it. Thanks 🙂
