Wiper blade connection rubber grommets

Ok Guy's

Ok so my rubber grommets are toast after 25 years of grueling heat.
I need to replace the grommets where the wipers connect, the grommet slides on the connector and around the hole that it goes through on the car body. Hope I'm explaining myself.
Thanks

Pretty much you have to remove the wiper linkage. I just did mine with a brand new linkage, i removed the intake manifold which made it pretty easy.

what you want is the damper ring #14. I paid about $2.50@ from the dealer. the secret to make this easy is to remove the ring #13 before you remove the old damper and to replace it AFTER you install the new one.

The old ones will of course fall apart and you should be able to fish the bits out by removing the vent grills. The new ones I shoved in place VERY carefully with a small screwdriver THEN put the ring in.

You want to laugh I used two neoprene garden hose washers worked perfect, nice a tight and can,t even notice. I will order the info that you used. but for a temp fix it works.
Thanks Jeff for your help
