Hi guys,

Looking for some advice on fixing up the cover for the arm on the drivers side wiper mechanism on my 06 Vantage.

It is corroded and needs fixed up. I have attached a pic so you guys know what I am taking about

Do i replace it with a genuine aston bit? If so does anyone know the part number or maybe I can do this more cost effectively with a Jag/Ford part?

If so any part numbers and help would be awesome smile

Take it off and get it powder coated flat black, it will only cost a couple of pounds.
I bet that arm is two fortunes from Aston for a new one.
