So one day in March I overlooked my car to find the rear wiper arm had been ripped off in the college town I live in. They left the wiper motor shaft with the nut but everything else was gone. I have been without a rear wiper ever sense until a couple days ago. I cut this out of 1/8" aluminum on my college's CNC plasma cutter. I used Autodesk Inventor to draw the 3d model and drafted it as a .dxf file for the CNC program and wola. I then wet sanded a polished look into the arm and bent it to fit the wiper blade by matching the front wiper arm. Now I have to figure out some sort of cover for the Nut. And I am undecided if I want to paint it. It would probably be painted body color or black.


Im in the process of resizing my pics I post more later. Sorry.

Nice work it will take just as long for yours to rust as mine, and its missing.

Kev, what is that thing in your avatar son ?

You could add a stainless acorn nut, to accent it, or paint the acorn nut also..

Looks like I'm going to get an Acorn Nut tomorrow that's an awesome idea.
