Wanted : GTA wiper connector

Postby simontaylor » Wed Aug 11, 2010 7:35 pm

A battle scare from this years Le Mans Classic has left me with a broken connector which joins the wiper onto the wiper arm, passenger side.

Does any one have a spare one?
I looked in the parts manual, section 85.031 and guess they are not available from Renault as they are not listed.
Ormaybe it is shared with another car?
Any alternatives ...... ???

Simon....I posed the question of replacment wiper arms for GTA`s in Macon after I found out Renault wanted...from memory...around £100 per arm, I think it was Stephen that suggested fitting 610 arms at a fraction of that price. They have a different blade attachment which wont break so easily.....thats if you cant source a S/H one :wink:

That's what I did. The original GTA ones were always going to fail permanently at some point, so I got some A610 wiper arms and those have the 'modern' hook-type fitment.
Struggled to get them directly from Renault and contacted Simon Auto. He didn't have any in stock but after a few weeks he contacted me to say he had some. Got them when the pound was strong to the Euro so it was about £30 or something!
