Default Headlight wiper arms
I am just wandering if any other headlight wiper arms fit the Sierra as I have bought 2 sets now both with problems
i would ideally like new if there is any plus people are just wanting silly prices for2nd hand items found on most high end Sierra’s
cheers mark

Mid-90s Saab ones fit perfectly and you can get the blades for about £6-8 per pair

Nice one mate - i have ordered the blades from ebay.

Where do you get the arms from?

With regards to the washer jets, I assume i need to go to Volvo for those parts?

Not sure how the prices would compare to the volvo parts but if you get stuck I believe a company called Sierras R US sell both the blades and the attaching washer jets on ebay. They are around 40 GBP a pair each.

I have bought the headlight arms and wipers from a Ford Scorpio Granada, the facelift model 1992-1993. Very hard too find through Ford dealers (mine came from the Canary Islands!) but they look sooooo good!

They are covered in plastic so you dont see the metal arms anymore and look so much modern. TThe wipers look more like the modern flatblades. Also the rubber tube goes into the arm and gives it a very clean look.

Looking for them for years and finally got them this year!
