Frequently asked questions

What is the STC987 wiper drum adaptor for?
The STC987 wiper drum adaptor is the splined ferrule that connects the wiper arm to the splined wiper drive spindle. It seats on the spindle and forms the mechanical link that transfers drive torque to the arm and sets the correct arm alignment on the front wash/wipe system.
How many wiper drum adaptors are needed?
One STC987 adaptor is needed per wiper spindle, so a vehicle with two front wipers typically takes two. If a wiper arm has worked loose or won't sit at the correct angle, a worn splined adaptor is often the cause, and owners usually renew them in pairs.
Which models does the STC987 wiper adaptor fit?
The STC987 wiper adaptor fits the Defender 1986-2006 between VIN FA434631 and 1A622423, plus the Series 3, on the front wash/wipe system. The splined fitment must match your wiper spindle, so check your VIN against that range before ordering.
Is the wiper drum adaptor easy to fit?
Fitting the wiper drum adaptor is a simple DIY job. You lift off the wiper arm, slide the old splined adaptor off the spindle and press the new one on, lining up the splines, then refit the arm at the correct rest angle. No special tools are usually needed.
