Default Series 1 Windscreen Wiper Speed Control Knob

Does everybodys knob waggle around or is it just mine?
I think I might need a bush to sort it out
I also have the problem with it coming out all the time under full speed
Can you get a new bush from ford?
I think I need one.......





but there is a serious question in there somewhere lol

pull the knob off theres a "o" shaped ring that goes down the center shaft, using an electrical screw driver just put it in the hole locate it in one of teh slots on teh "o" ring and turn it clock wise to tighten the thing up.... or from behind the dash ( take out the pocket to the lower right of the dash under the steering wheel) theres a plastic nut on the back of the control switch just do it up finger tight.

i ripped mine out and stuck my boost adjuster in there. if you bypass it you still get intermittent wipers just cant adjust the frequency obviously.
