Wiper arms

[Mk3alan]

Removed my wiper arms tonight to do a general maintenance/waxing of areas underneath the plastic cover.
My arms are the early type without the extended fixed part making them 'lift upable' to clear the bonnet.
As I removed the nearside arm the plastic cover for the nut pinged off but upon clipping it back on, it broke!
Don't make 30 year old plastic like they used to!
Can't seem to find a part number for this cover part? or does it only come with the complete arm?

The part number you need is one of two types.

It's either 90355620 (SWF type)
Or 90307201 (TRICO type)

I can't find any for sale though.
Now may be a good time to upgrade to the later 'lift up' wipers?

Thanks James, it looks like the first number you found.
Although the top of the cover has broken off it does stay in position and I shall continue to scour auto jumbles in the hope that one pops up!
(Didn't find one at VBOA)!
