Need a part....Can't find information on it!

[dontmiss]

I am in the U.S. My windshield wiper blade broke off on the Ultima. Does anyone know who manufactures it? And, if I can get it here in the U.S. Or, do I need to order it? I just moved from Florida to Portland. It rains a lot here so I can't drive the car until I get this fixed. This is after not storing it for 2+ years. So, I am really anxious to get behind the wheel again. I just replaced the battery so she is ready to roll.

BTW, does anyone know how many Ultimas there are in the U.S. now? When I bought mine in 2004, I heard a number like 11. I'm sure there are a lot more now.

Thanks for your help.

Did you loose the whole blade or just the plastic clip?

No matter, the blade is 19" long and pretty standard here in the UK so here you would just buy a universal replacement blade which would come with a selection of different style plastic fitting.
Don't know if US cars have a different design of wiper but if they do then I would expect you can find a supplier of European car parts who should be able to help.

For cars in the US check out the US site

There is a map showing all the owners in each state.
