Metal Windshield Wipers

[Dick R]

I needed wiper blades so I searched FAQ and found information about the correct size (15") and also discussions about how the blades sold today are usually black plastic needing adapters for mounting.  I found a correct metal wiper with the OE-type connection - no adapter and no black plastic.  It's a "Trico Classic" p/n 33-150.  I got it in stock at an O'reilly's Auto Parts store for $10 each.  It's on their website and also on Amazon for $13 each. 

 

Fit right on the original attachment.

You should be able to get just the rubber refills for (quite) a bit less $$.  O'Reillys at least used to have the refills, and IIRC Bosch ones are still available, although you have to hunt around for 'em.

 

And FYI if you have a '68 or '69, they came from the factory with 13" wipers...

Rock Auto had the 13" rubber blades (cute little things!)  for $ 1.xx each a few months ago.  None now though...

NAPA has a Classic line of wiper blades also.  I purchased mine from them, from a recommendation of someone on the FAQ.  Work great and match the car perfect.
