Nearly stripped wiper arm bolt

[Thrill]

The bolts that the wiper arms are attached to, well.. I've nearly stripped one of them. Whats the best way to fix it? If I can't fix it, can I replace the bit where the bolts protrude from? Many thanks guys! Had a right job getting off the wipers!

Re-thread it with a die?

You know any cheap kits? Cheers mate!

Never had to buy one mate. I'd buy one from halfords if I had too though.

I take it you do mean you nearly striped the thread off the wiper spindle? That the nut goes onto?

Yes mate, the wiper spindle. Can it be replaced the thing that the nuts go on? Thanks.

Yeah of corse.

If its front, just buy a new wiper linkage. And swap motor over.

Or if its rear, just buy a new rear wiper motor assembly.

It's the front mate. Could you link me to the part? Wiper system confuses me! Many thanks
