sunset350z Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 My drivers side wiper arm has started corroding and the paint is coming off. Rather than rub it down and repaint it, has anyone got a spare one or point me in the right direction for a good one. I`ll probably ask at my local nissan stealers tomorrow for a laugh, and see what stupid price they come up with, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Isnt this a warantee swap of some discription? Comes under the 5 or 10 year anti corrision gtee?

Lincolnbaggie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Got both of mine replaced under warranty. The price is ridiculous to buy them at the dealers - can't remember exactly how much they would have been, but laughed like a drain when told!

My car is just over 4 yrs old so if it was still in the 3 yr warranty then they would have been replaced. Same goes for the wheels. The price for the wiper arms are £85 +vat for drivers side and £69+vat for the other Anyway stuff nissan, i went to Renowheels in Bridgend and they are going to redo my wiper arms for £15 and get a few marks out of a wheel for £30. Happy days all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days all round Good for you.. I've used Renowheel myself in the past and they do a really good job. I used them to refurbish a set of type r wheels, and they done a superb job. By the way i`ve still got them, still wrapped up and never had tyres fitted. Part-exd for the zed before i got chance to put them on. Selling them if anyone wants them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I always found renowheel to be expensive. I've used Alloy Polishing Services in Swansea a few times, will be taking my wheel there as soon as i can be bothered to take it off and get the tyre removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of my mates had wheels refurbed and again couldn`t fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I paid £180 to get 5 wheels refurbed & resprayed black. The repair on my front wheel is gonna be £25 (turn around is normally 1-2 days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The repair on my front wheel is gonna be £25 (turn around is normally 1-2 days) That is a really good price, can you give me the number for future reference?. I had the wiper arms and wheel back saturday, the wheel wasn`t the best of jobs but ok, and the wiper arms look like new again, so very happy with them. Saved me a heap of money.
