Re: Wiper length
I bought cut to length refils for mine. They are 13" x 6mm. I have stainless wiper arms so going with the refils were a perfect fit.
This is what I used. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...rm=wiper+refil

Re: Wiper length
Be careful if you buy from any of the classic part suppliers. They generally provide 12" blades which really are too short.

Re: Wiper length
The extruded rubber wiper is similar to the newer blades. My old boss told me to take some blades that were discontinued arms and remove the rubber and insert them into my arms. Cheap for me and it works. Ask your parts guys, they like to get rid of discontinued stuff off there shelves.

Re: Wiper length
Is there a" version? There are 4" between blades, in the resting position, and the wipers don't clean high enough on the windshield for me. I'm 6'4" and look right over the top of the cleaned area. Any ideas?
Thank you. |
