Default Electric wiper arms

I have Vintique electric wiper, the weak link in the kit is the wiper arm. In Mac's catalog I found a wiper arm that looks well made, pg 174, B17509ES, has anyone here ever bought one, how did it work.
thanks nick c

Well, In my view, If you buy the arm from Mac's then you will have two pieces of "JUNK"..

LOL, that's a good one, but may well be true.

That's a pretty worthless answer to the question. Their stuff is probably made in the same place where all the other vendors get their stuff too.

nick c,

In my opinion, the best authentic wiper arms you can buy are from A&L Parts Specialties.
They manufacture high quality parts, but do not have a website. You can contact them to request a catalog, and its well worth a look.

A&L Parts Specialties
Box 301
Canton, Conn 06019-0301
860-6930112 or 860-693-2620

Give them a call, explain what you have, and I'm sure they can help you.
I'm a well satisfied customer of theirs.

I'll agree with that. While MAC's may not be my first go to vendor I have never had a problem with them.

Your first mistake is buying something made by Vintique...
