Rear wiper problems - need part
 
I just got my car back from getting repaired (I was rear-ended) and they replaced my rear wiper. But, they told me that they couldnt source a small white 90 degree plastic part that connects to the wiper blade.

Anyone have any ideas on what this is?

Ok, I think I have found it on RealOEM but can anyone find the time to take a picture of it. All you would need to do is pop up the rear flap on the wiper and take a picture of it item. But dont touch it, its fragile!

Thanks ti people!

the one here attached to the rubber hose? it's for the washer fluid for the rear wiper

That looks like something that could be "MacGyver-ed" if you can't get a replacement.

Thanks tiFreak! But...I have that little black part. Its the part that the black part snaps into. I was told it was white and plastic. Hummm...there is an abandoned ti near my house. I may run over there and take a look.

Thanks again for the picture.

Based on the wiper blade & motor that I have in my hand, and the diagram on realoem.com, I don't think there's any white plastic part there. Perhaps they meant somewhere else along that particular hose run?

I know exactly what you are talking about. it's the nipple that that black L shaped hose snaps onto. It's fragile, and a part of the wiper motor. I broke mine when removing the rear wiper, so I had to replace the whole motor from a junk yard ti.

yup, you're gonna need a new wiper motor, if you want to snag the part of the abandoned ti it's a 14mm for the wiper nut and 3 10mm bolts behind, work fast so the cops don't catch you ;)
