windshield wiper blade


huffy

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
