Where could I find a tailgate wiper arm for cheap? I am looking for a new or used one in good condition with ZERO rust or corrosion. I tried repainting mine, but the paint just decided to unstick itself... and oh well... either buy a used one, or get the thing sand blasted and painted at a professional shop.

I tried volvoworld, and they only have the arm for -89... nothing newer... the older arms are thinner, and not made for the 16" wiper blade.

Email me at runabout4fun@yahoo.com if you might have one

Just sand it and paint it with bumper and trim paint. If you use normal black lacquer, it will peel like you won't believe.

CLEAN the finish before you paint it. Use paint thinner and wipe the finish after the thinner dries. I've done a ton of wiper arms and usually they last for a long time. Professional paint would be a waste, and buying a new one would too (my opinion).

I was using flat black rustoleum spray paint.

i used rustoleum on my first car, a 1978 Datsun 200sx, ugly as sin. I snaded, cleaned and sprayed and then baked it in the oven. At the time I made extra certain my parents would be out of town since it really stinks up the kitchen. I did this to other cars as well and found that about 350 deg is a bit much 200 deg is better, middle rack in oven. I have had these last longer then factory paint on the wiper arms.
