Hi, my youngest son is a very proud owner of a black Starlet.  As a Christmas present I'd like to be able to buy for him some replacement Front Windscreen wipe arm (not just the blades the arms).  Both x2 from and one rear.  His have rusted quite badly and I'd like to be able to produce these as a Christmas present.  For Christmas or, if possible before Christmas.  His Starlet is a 3 door K Reg. Petrol.  I don't know the engine size not the HP.  If essential I can ask him but that would spoil the surprise element.  He loves his car.

Hello, clearly a great dad looking into doing this for your son, Would make a brilliant gift, Have you tried phoning Toyota parts to see if there still available to buy new from Toyota you would just need to give them the registration of the car to check? I'm not sure if there discontinued or not.  Failing that im not sure how likely it is you would find a second Hand set that wouldn't need painted to bring upto standard.

In regards to the wiper arms, if you can get them off and give them a rub down with some fine wet and dry then give them a fresh lick of paint (I'm using stove matt black paint) they would look great. Be aware they may take a bit of persuading to get off. I'm about to soak mine in DW40 prior to attempting to take them off again (hopefully 3rd time lucky). Seconds to what Dale's said, great dad move!!
