Wiper arm adapter

Anyone know where I can get one of these? It's the plate that mounts to the front of the coach and then the wiper arms attach. I tried to call Newmar but they are closed. I will call tomorrow but we are leaving Sunday and I would really like to get this fixed.

I see "wiper arm adaptor" that looks like it. Some show 4" and some 3 7/16". Not sure what the measurement pertains to. Center of hole to center of hole? Overall length?

They're called pantograph adapters, Amazon even sells them. The price seems pretty steep though.

Thanks, that's what I was referencing with the "wiper arm adapter" (has that in the title). The wet one (the one you referenced) shows a 4" measurement. I'm not sure what that is actually measuring as the overall length of mine is longer than 4" and center hole to center hole is shorter.

You might also check with this company: https://www.tacbusparts.com/Other-It...r-Pivot-Shafts
We just purchased a wiper pivot assembly (our whole shaft was bent) for $17.50. And an extra 3/8" knurled driver for double flat shaft (on the amazon link above for $10.99) for $1.99.

The company was responsive to email questions and extremely fast to ship.

The good thing about Amazon is that if it doesn't work, just return it.

Thanks! I have one coming today from Amazon. Hoping it is correct. I will check out the site.

Just to complete the circle, the part I ordered is in the link. Same one others suggested. It worked great although the base was a touch smaller than the original, no biggie.
