ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    I've never even messed with that part... do you have a picture of the other side to compare how it should look?

    See how much you can take apart. You could probably use junkyard parts to fix it.

      If you look to the left of the missing one there is a dirty white cap on that one, that is how it should look with the cap on. The previous owner said that 2 years ago, during an ice storm, the windshield wipers quit working. Found out why, lol.
      I looked every where, even took the inner fender well off in hopes of finding it, I figure a person probably couldn't buy just that little cap.

          Check www.hondaautomotiveparts.com to see if they have individual parts available.

          It's amazing how similar that is to a window regulator. Interesting! If it's like a window regulator, you'll probably have to buy the whole assembly. That site also has some of the best prices for OEM parts.

              It sucks having only 1 salvage yard in the area. They are WAY over priced and usually do not mess with small stuff, mainly engines and transmissions. When I lived in Wichita I would buy parts from the salvage yard all the time.

              I think I might tap the center of the ball, there is already a hole there for grease, and put a bolt with a washer in there until I find a replacement part. Thank you for the help!

              I think it is part #8

                Looks like he just welded a washer to the ball. Think I might do this. Probably have to grease it every couple of years but at least it will not break again.

                  Junkyard ? Might not be easy but It'll be cheap.
