new wind screen & wiper blade replacement

.

Glass guys showed up today to replace the wind screen on my '67. While they attempted that, I tried to fix my bent up wiper blade and found that while I was able to get most of the damage out of it, there's a crack and the material is very thin so it needs to be replaced. The thing appears to be stainless, just like the wind screen trim and is polished nice and shiny. Where can I find a replacement?

The new glass going in is a different manufacturer than what went in last time and feels a tad thicker. The Precision gasket they brought along fit really loose. Just as last time, they position the gasket on the glass, place the trim into the gasket, secure it down with tape and then install the rope into the gasket where the pinch weld will go. Then the whole assembly is placed into it's home. The first attempt failed with the trim getting released from the gasket during the roping-in process. They started the rope pull at the bottom and found by the time they got to the top, everything went caddywampus. The thinking now is they need to start from the top. They've took off for another (easier) job for now and will return later this afternoon to finish and bring along another person with more experience.

Here we go again!
