New wiper arms for 2002 Allure

[hcbradley3]

Hello All,

Well i have been searching around for replacement wiper arms for my CC. I contacted Kevin W and he told me to contact AM Equipment. Well I did that and was told that they did not make the wiper arms for my coach and to check there parts guide:

https://www.amequipment.com/rv-replacement-parts-guide

Well I checked the guide and it was not there. In another post they posted pictures of there arms and they looked just like mine and AM said they were part #741-2900 i believe but they never said anything about fitment or not.

So what to do? My arms are 29.5 inches from center of main nut to the top of the arm. Currently one of my arms does not stay tight so if I need to use them it will become out of adjustment.

I will try to post some pictures when I can this weekend.

Have you taken the arm off yet? There is a small metal piece that adapts the arm to the stud. Mine broke and the arm would not stay tight. They sell a hardware kit that includes that piece. I replaced the broken one and bought a spare to carry incase the other one has an issue.

Sorry for the rotated pics, dam cell phone.

Sanddan,

The issue with mine is on the second or smaller arm, as it is adjustable not fixed. the adjustable lever arm part is broken and will not stay tight now. so when i use the wipers the passenger side wiper does not remain straight it moves around. So the only way to fix the issue i believe is to replace the whole wiper arm assembly. But I am not sure who makes it or where to get a replacement.

You might give the Pats Guru, Kevin, at Premier RV Services a call. We just had new arms put on our 04 Allure. A much more heavier duty unit then the ones we replaced (That looked like yours, except we had added 'cheater springs' which had helped some. But even with the spring adding extra tension to pull the blade to the windshield - it was never ever very good of a wipe!).

I have not used the new blades in rain yet, but when lifting the blade off of the windshield to clean it, I can tell it's much stronger pressure on the windshield.

Sorry. I don't have the part number of the units we used. He had some in stock, of which one was 1" shorter then the other. As we were leaving Premier that day, I went ahead with the 1" difference. I can tell while looking out of the coach, but when I asked my wife if she noticed anything different while looking out of the coach - she did not pick up the 1" difference.

Suggest you take a measurement of your arm, to cross reference with Kevin.

Kevin's good people! Best of luck to you,
Smitty

From an old Yahoo Country Coach Group which might be helpful.

So thanks CntryCoachRV, as Rome Truck Parts had one in stock. Now they will not be getting anymore as it is an ANCO product and they are no longer making them. Apparently Trico bought them out and everything is changing. So we may have to find one that AM Equipment makes that works and fits the same for the future.

Thanks for the help.

Glad they could help you, I ordered two for my 2000 Intrigue from Rome Truck Parts earlier this week, I should receive them tomorrow, hope these will last until the coach gives out. Originals have functioned for almost 20 years.

This same issue is on my fix list. On drive back home after purchasing coach the passenger blade went wild turning horizontal. Needing wipers in a snow storm I resorted to some small vice grips clamping the secondary arm so it would hold blade alignment.
So these arms are hard to find? I'd rather not run around with a redneck wiper fix......I assumed every bus had a similar arm and replacements available?

Wiper Arm Replacement Update
I ordered commercial grade 29" pantograph arms from AM Equipment p/n# 761-2900 at a cost of $252 for two arms. Took them a while to build them but they finally got here. I could not believe the difference in these arms. They are some substantial arms with heavy duty springs to hold them to the windshield. The angle of the wiper blade is held with a knurled mount that once set will not move unlike the cheap clamp of the pano arm of the stock arm. Here is a picture of the original and the replacement arm.

Thanks all for the wiper info. AM Equip. had all the needed parts for my broken pano. arm. Prices aren't that bad. It seems there is slack when the arm comes to a stop right and left. I assume this is a worn out motor. Rider side worse than driver side. I ordered extra when and if the other side breaks. I guess the motors are next at $155.00 each.
Thanks again, Don
