[928uk] Wiper stalk gone a bit wobbly

[Richard Armstrong]

Hi Peter.
They do that sir!
  it could well be that part of the stalk inside the housing is broken. 
Also doed/did the stalk self centre? Th tab which facilitates this wears 
and self centering stops working. I have had some new parts 3d printed - 
I have sent a few out for people to try and had no feedback that they 
have failed so I can only assume that they work fine.
You can drill the rivets out and replace them with self tappers, however 
the unit has many fine springs and some ball bearings so you need to be 
very careful, take pictures and dismanlte it in a lrge bicuit tin!
If you don't feel capable send it to me and I will do it

Regards
Richard
