headlight wiper blade, Help!

Hi guys, I'm searching for someone or someplace
that either has a used blade or a place to buy a
new one. I only need the blade not the arm.
Thanks Rich

Check any dealer, get a flash light and after hours go through their service dumpsters---they gota have a used one, however if you don't have loads of time on your hands wait till the sun comes up and talk with a parts guy!

If you are wanting a wiper for the headlight as a functional then new from Autohaus would be a good source.
If you want the wiper for "show" and not go then a recyclier (Junk Yard ) may be a good choice.
If I needed only the rubber I might try dismantling the buying a refill and cutting it to fit!

Mike, I need the headlight wiper, not the
windshield.
SRHsl600, I need the metal part of the blade
that the refill goes in also

I ended up getting the blades from pelican parts- but they were limited batch production and cost over $200 for the set. I love this car too much..

Hi, there.
I recently bought the cheapest Bosch headight wipers with matching shape and min. length, used only the rubber and cut it to needed lenght to replace the worn part.
No difference, except in your wallet. ->10€ per piece

Cheers, Frank
