windshield wiper blade

[huffy 2]

Need a new one for my cab; existing one is old and dry rotted. Anyone know where I can find one that attaches with set screws like this? All the ones I've seen attach with the J clip thingy.I intended to just drill out that pin so I could remove that set screw insert and put it in another blade, but being naturally clumsy I broke the insert.

I'm wonderin' if it wouldn't be easier to replace the arm.

Looks like you could get just a refill,

What is the length? Have you looked at marine supply joints? Some of those marine wipers use a small blade like this.

Evidently they make an adapter thingy for old cars that slides onto a straight arm like that to adapt it into a J style so you can use the new-fangled blades. I did not know that.

Without seeing how it mounts, I got the complete arm assembly and blade at NAPA for mine.

Brett: that's how I found out about the adapter. I took the arm off and took it to Thirlby Auto to see if I could find a different arm with the J hook on the end. The guy there gave me one of the adapters.

Would this work?

When I had a metal cab, I went to napa. I think the stock one was 12 inchs and I upped it to 14 inchs. Been a while but remember I was happy with it.

Mike: the problem was not the length. The problem was finding one that attached to the arm the way that one did.

I fully understand. What I was saying is I got it at napa, and I improved it! Lol
