Rear Windscreen Wiper

[yankydoodle]

Hey all,

My rear windscreen wiper (not the blade) but the whole thing has broken. I need to replace it and have been charged like £60 for the part and fitting. Dies that sound reasonable to you guys? x

Hi, Doesn't sound bad to me!

Really? I thought this was so random a problem I was being stitched up! I feel re-assured now!

Did you mean the wiper motor or just the wiper arm? If it's just the arm then £60 sounds expensive, I took it to mean the motor!

It's the mechanical arm bit that holds the wiper in place that swishes the screen. (You can tell I'm not technical!). I was told that bcos its a toyota part its quite expensive to replace.

Its outrageous. When you take your car into a dealer think of a reasonable charge and triple it, then you might be close.
