Sun Apr 22, 2012 4:41 pm

I need to pick up a set of wiper arm pivots for my 67 with Safaris. Based on everyone's experiences, who makes/sells the best pivot or does everyone carry the same ones manufactured by the same company?

Also interested on where to get the best one eyed duck. I remember a discussion awhile back on og vs repo with the metal sleeve in the hole and it possibly being early vs. late. Thanks in advance.

This may not be the answer you want but they are all ugly. So ugly in fact that I changed my entire wiper assembly back to the earlier style just to be able to utilize the early pivots.

Thanks, really just interested in the best quality ugly pivot though. :)

Installed Wolfsburgs own adapters on my 67. They work ok, sorta.
I keep the rainex on the windows and don't use the wipers much. They never did work that well even before the safaris were installed.
Bought the cheap repo duck wiper holder. They work good. I couldn't bring myself to drill the hole in the nose for the anchor screw so i glued a rare earth magnet to the back of the holder and stuck it on the bus. So far so good.
