Fiat wipers up the spout.

[chunkolini]

Drivers side wiper on my Doblo has stopped working. A little C clip on the actuator arm has corroded and the arm slips off the wiper itself.
Looks like a new arm thingy as the clip looks to be built in. Can anyone reccomend a supplier and or a short term fix?

Have a look in the shop section

Common problem with Doblo

As a temporary bodge I've popped a cable tie on and it seems to hold it.
The clip above looks perfect but says it wont fit my Doblo

But this one looks the ticket. I think buy a pair and do them both

Buy 4 - cheaper per item and you'll have spares for when it happens again. The Law of Sod will ensure that it does..... . And for all they cost

I did in the end

Another poorly designed Fiat wiper assembly?......some years ago my wife had a similar issue on a Fiat car, in the end I drilled and pinned the linkage together, either that or buy an whole new assembly.

I did similar with a Mitsubishi my daughter had and it was a pretty permanent repair.

I just welded a washer on the end of my daughters punto when they popped off... permanent repair !

Same guy @chunkolini
make sure that the arm pivots are free on the 3 Doblos we had all were tight\all most seized on one side, wears the nylon bearing, the mechanism comes out easily strip clean & grease this is why they pop off I expect the ball is rusty as well, there are also new wiper links for the Doblo If i remember about £16 for both. The whole job 3/4 hour start to finish @earthman
Tried that the pin on Doblo resisted a quality drill
