Rear Wipe Arm Missing section

[servicepoint]

Noticed this morning that the Yeti was missing the small black plastic section that should be round the arm locator ehrre the washer jet is. Without it the nut is open to the elements and corrosion.

It was never very secure, first week of the car a pedestrian caught it on their jacket and pulled it off but kindly chapped the window and handed it to me.

Anyone know the part number?

No need to order from eBay. Your local Skoda dealer can order it for you. My cover came off last year and was replaced by Henry's Skoda, Glasgow, for less than a fiver. Ordered it one afternoon and was delivered the next day. The cover is easy to fit as it just snaps on.

Depends where you live in relation to your dealer; for me it would cost more in fuel going and coming back (would consume a gallon of diesel), than getting it from this dealer via their ebay shop in the post.

Not when your nearest dealer is over an hour away!!

After i replaced mine i secured it with a tie wrap for extra security.

Be VERY careful with the exposed washer jet whilst the cover is missing & when fitting the new one.

If the jet breaks off in the housing, the only remedy is to replace the entire wiper motor assembly - as my dealer found out when a mechanic caught the cap with his sleeve, braking the jet in the process. Expensive!

Could someone post a picture of how it should look, I'm now wondering if mine has been snapped off with the jet too!!

At the pivoting end of your rear wiper, is it a smooth plastic cover?

If yes, then don't worry.

And you know if the jet had been broken off, as the screen wouldn't get washed!! I presume you do use your rear washer?
