Non-aero wiper for mk2 estate

[xzirri]

Recently I noticed that the rear windscreen wiper had started to sag. This means that every time I close the boot, there is a sound of the wiper flapping about. I thought about replacing the wiper with a less worn one until I read a thread regarding the facelift hatchback getting a non-aero wiper. After looking further into it, I discovered that some of the japanese estates also had the regular metal wiper arm. Part number is 85241-31020. However, I can't seem to find this part from any vendors that I have any experience with. Has anyone done this before? Or does anyone know about a reliable vendor who may have this part?

What country are you from/in ? tbh replace the arm with a Denso or Bosch item you can fit whatever blade you want to the arm

I'm from Norway. Thank you for your reply, I'll look into it! Didn't know Bosch and Denso made wiper arms as well. The one you linked to looks like an arm for the hatchback though, judging from the description.

I realize that I uploaded the wrong schematics! This is the one I'm talking about, for future references

An aftermarket arm+blade for T25 wagon is easy to buy in the UK from a car parts supplier.  Normal cost is £10.00 - 15.00.

I'm afraid I would have to locate these parts online, as the only wiper arm I can find in this country is the aero type.

I'll see if I am able to find a wiper arm from a different make or model which might fit though, based on dimensions from my current wiper, or I'll just buy a new aero type arm and hope that it won't rattle.

Toyota could provide that wiper arm for the same price as the one my car came with. However, they are over priced, costing approximately £ 43. I'll go for an aftermarket one off of eBay.
