Price of the rear XB wiper $56

The cost for a do it yourself replacement of this miracle of inexpensive manufacturing is $56 just for the part!

I snapped my plastic rear wiper arm when I walked into it while washing the car. I had it pulled out away from the window.

Nice car. Expensive piece of plastic part in my opinion!

Keep an eye out--people who take them off are offering them up for sale all the time. Its not the parts that cost, it is the warehousing and inventory that keeps the price up on parts. The same thing happens in other businesses as well. Like a $180 ignitor for a $700 stove...............

I got snagged like that, lost my shirt. Not washing, just cleaning the rear window.
Glad to hear that I am not the only one. Watch the classified, or post a 'Want To Buy' type of ad.

You got SNAGGED!

Unfortunatly I was not aware I could look for unneeded wiper arms on here and I purchased the $56 arm at the dealer (cost me an arm). Thanks for the info. Perhaps it will save somone else who needs an arm. Thank You

Default I am interested in this part

If you guys still have the xB rear wiper arm available I am interested in purchasing. I just bought an xB and this part was already broken. Scion of Knoxville wants to charge me $99 for this part that they don't even have in stock. You can reply to this post, PM me, or contact me via http://watchthisinteractive.com/contactus
