Front wiper arm

[Slugsie]

My drivers side wiper isn't wiping properly, because the arm isn't being pulled onto the windscreen fully. As best I can tell it's because the pivot point has corroded and sticks (the spring seems OK). I've tried applying GT85 and working it in and it's improved a little, but not much.

I think I need a new arm, but RT is asking £40+ which seems steep to me. Any other sources?

Alternatively, any ideas for a fix? I need to sort this ASAP as the daily commute in the rain is a trifle awkward when the wipers don't work 100%.

Wipers!

Change the wipers over as a temporary fix then either get a new one from a motor factor or visit a breakers. Might be worth asking at Toyota main dealer, they sometimes sell the older parts at a discount.
