K12 wiper linkage

Hi,
The K12 wiper linkage is a bad design.
I have twice in the past used after market replacement arms with plastic bushes in.
Just search online for Wipex UK, and you will find their repair kits very reasonable price and quite easy to fit.

I still use the original arms and service every year with a touch of grease on the joints, i also use the sliding clips and split pin this holds the joints from popping out ,the passenger side tends to get water ingress in this area and that's starts the drying out and rust in the joint leading to the arms juddering and then popping out of their bushings.

A Happy Christmas to all on the forum, lets hope 2025 will be full of motoring joy.
