International Wiper Arm
I'm needing a passenger side widshield wiper arm. Mine broke the only plastic part in it.
Going to give JB Weld a chance in the meantime, hopefully it will hold.

Definitely the pantograph style. looking at the prices I was surprised they were not as expensive as I had thought. Unfortunately mine is the most expensive on this site at $42. Midwest bus parts wants $185, seriously? Mine is the 28", TACBUS only shows this one, but it's a drivers side and does not show a difference, or a passenger side.

Can't tell if the top arm swivels to the opposite side to make it a RH?

Hate to see you pay 185 for a used part. Perhaps try getting a new part made by proto labs. https://www.protolabs.com/services/3d-printing/
These guys do a lot of prototyping for youtube's that build all kinds of things.

Thanks, they did notify me that it was ambidextrous. I checked my JB fix yesterday, fail. So I'll be getting the new one.

I would look over the other parts in the linkage and order them too. Most of the linkage bushings , clips etc are inexpensive. I think I had around 200 or n mine for arms , blades, bushings , pivots and clips. Other than the motors all my stuff is new and works great.

The part that broke was the only plastic part in the whole mechanism. I know how it broke, when it was hinged out to clean the window, when putting it back, that thin arm edge rest against the rivet on the bigger arm. When you lower it, it levers against that rivet and snapped.
