So a few months ago my car was parked in a ghetto area over night and I had some sony speaker boxes with my old door speakers sitting on the shelf behind the back window(not my best idea) and I came out the next morning to see my back window smashed in and the boxes gone, i guess the didnt open the hatch after they broke the window because my subs were still in the trunk lol.

Anyways when they used the rock to break the window they broke the windshield wiper arm. So a 400$ window later I was able to locate a place to order a replacement but now i cant seem to find the part anywhere! anyone have any kind of help?

Thanks

Majestic Honda has the parts listed on their site. You can order from them, or if you're ordering in person from a dealership, take the image with you and they can figure out the Honda part numbers.

Awesome, exactly what i was looking for. in the meantime I took off the broken arm and washer fluid deflector. i love seeing the look on peoples face when they tailgate me and i spray them with washer fluid =D

My question is, how do you get that damn wiper arm off the post. I cannot get mine off to replace with a new one. Thought it would be an easy simple fix!!

pull the cover off, undo the nut, then put the cover back down.

lift your wiper arm straight out off the back of the window and wiggle it,

Thanks Mitchell_ep, but it's just not moving or budging at all! I wonder if it is sort of fused together to the post due to light corrosion???? The cap cover that touches the window is too sensitive to be prying against it. I would hate to break something more! I tried soaking in penetrant (wd40). I'm at a loss here. Any other suggestions?

it could be galvanic corrosion...

Mitchell,
That method doesn't really apply to my case because I can't get the arm off. Really frustrating.

Yeah right! I start getting scared that I am either going to break the wiper motor or the back windshield!!
