Title: Rear wiper blade fitting bracket (top lock?) part number
Post by: J400uk on February 26, 2014, 07:12:58 pm: Recently bought a new rear blade but the fixing bracket needed for attaching to the arm is damaged.

Does anyone know what the part number is? Hoping it's only a few pennies from TPS. Pic below:

Hmm was hoping not to have to replace the entire blade since its brand new, guess they don't sell the part I'm after separately then?
