How to Obtain Replacement Springs for ROCA Windshield Wiper

[jpdewitt]

We have a 2012 R29 Classic. The wiper blades do not touch the glass on three of the four blades. I have cleaned and lubricated the arms with little effect. Me thinks that new springs may give me the tension needed to get the blades to touch the glass. How do I get four new springs for the wiper arms?

Imtra’s website has a spare parts page that includes parts for Roca windshield wipers. Looks to me like you will find several spring options for the wipers. Not sure which ones you would need . . . That might require a call to Imtra. But it at least looks like you can get springs through them and that they are not all that expensive (surprisingly affordable for a boat part).

My experience is, bite the bullet and buy new arms. The issue is usually the knuckle that has the plastic cover at the wiper pivot. Getting the arm off is not easy, but once off apply anti-seize, install new arm, without plastic cover. Apply Stabil Corrosion Inhibitor to springs and knuckle pivot. Rinse and reapply Stabil regularly. You will be a happy camper going forward.

Thanks for the link to the IMTRA website. Their customer service helped me identify the spring I needed in two days. The cost of four springs under 10 bucks. Shipping was almost as expensive as the springs. I will report out if the springs do the trick.
