Question
Hi. I've found the source of the problem with the wipers and need to replace the wiper crank arm assembly. Trouble is, the dealer wants $95 for the entire mount and crank arm... Tried searching salvage yards to no avail. Either they don't have this type & model car or they don't know want I am describing. Where would you recommend me to go to find a reasonably priced replacement? I don't want to buy anymore parts than I realy need.
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Bill... you can try local parts stores and see if they have aftermarket ones . or try a wrecking yard that has the yard link with other wrecking yards to see if they have one less expencive... although 95.00 is pretty reasonable for an OEM part... hope this helps
