Source for Windshield Wiper Nut and Bolt

[dmason]

In replacing my windshield wiper blades (purchased from Costco) found I need to replace the bolt (about one inch long and threaded about 1/8 inch) and nut. I damaged the threads on one so thought I would replace both. Does anyone have a source for this? Thanks.

One great source for odd bolts and fasteners, both English and Metric, is ACE Hardware. I find myself going there quite often and purchase a lot of stainless hardware there. Ask one of the associates to help as it may be hard to locate on your on.

Maybe this will help.

MY wipers had a weird step down bolt---a thick shaft and a very small threaded end. The little nut would not stay on. My cub bear hands kept dropping them and finally---one was lost (on a trip of course and it was raining) . Never could find a replacement ran all ove town so I went to a place like ACE (they have lots of stuff) and found two stainless bolts with the "keeper" nuts----I drilled out the wiper arm location to fit and when I get new blade I just quickly increase the hole diameter to fit----ended my problem----I look through the windshield at my shiny stainless bolts and know they are not going to fail or fall off.

When I snapped my bolts when changing the wipers, I picked up some stainless bolts and nylon lock nuts at Lowes. With the nylon lock nuts you do not have to snug them to the arm, you can leave 1/32 or so play. Been good for two years now. Hope this helps you out.
