After a good Saturday fitting Full Leather Seats , Door Cards & Armrest , as usual Sunday is a let down. This morning the driver side wiper failed to work , linkage has come apart at ball joint. Temp fix at the moment with cable ties. Ordered a "ball joint clip" on e-bay. Anybody got any experience if these are good fix or do I need to buy the upgraded linkage from Mike Satur? Apparently not an easy job to fit.( ? )

I've heard good things about the clip (unfortunately I heard about these after mine went last year and bought a full replacement unit from rimmer bros). For the fiver or so they go for on ebay it's well worth a shot as I've heard people have used them for quick fixes but never needed to do anything further. At least good enough as a back up to keep in the glove if not anything else
