Plastic Cover for Windshield Wiper Assembly 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be kbodi on  Mon Jun 9 09:02 CST 2008 [RELATED]

So I recently replaced my windshield wiper assembly, and in the process managed to crack the (and lose a small piece of) the plastic cover that both covers the assembly and prevents water from getting into the engine compartment. As usual, an OEM replacement part from France costs $400. Unfortunately, I am having the hardest time finding this part from junkyards or online. I've been searching for 'plastic cover' and 'cowl;' is there an actual name for this plastic cover I should be looking for? Can anyone recommend a website that sells this part? I've used FCPGroton and Junkyarddog.com for a lot of used and non-OEM parts over the years, but they haven't been able to help with this one. Thanks in advance,

-KLB

      That's really good to know! If I fail in my reconstructive efforts I'll give those guys a call.

    That is not a normal replacement part so it will not be available as an aftermarket item. A wrecker is your only viable source. I would repair it with epoxy or RTV as stated by other poster.

    Your car is a 960?That cover gets very brittle and is hard to remove without cracking.Make a patch and glue it on with RTV silicone.A section of beer can would work fine.

      I was going to just epoxy it back together, but I wasn't sure what material to use. A beer can sounds like a great idea! I'll try that out, and thank you.
