Hi guys, new to this, so please bear with me.
I have just got my 89 S2 out for a clean ready for summer, and snappped of the windscreen nipple that is situted on the bulk head between the two wipers. I have managed to remove the snapped of plastic nipple by entering via the passenger footwell and squeezing my hand round the back of the heater.

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a new nipple for my S2, as I am struggling to find one, and can not MOT until I have.

MANY THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE...

Dan

If you need to do this work, suggest you improve the current design by fitting something like this

Hi Dan

Best advice is to throw thebits away and change the wiper to some with built in washer jets

Look here

Bobhon has fitted the washer jets from the ailgate of a Land Rover which sits quite high and would give a better spray than the originals

If you want to remain original I have a second hand spare which I could post later this week.

PS Welcome to the forum - lots of help and support here. How about some pictures of your car and can you make S Club Heaven on the 23rd? Details here

Thats what I did. Just as cheap as two new blades, but with the added benifit of 10 times better wash/wipe. £20 well spent
