Povertycove Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Does anyone have a good source for vintage windshield wiper arms and blades? For some reason I can’t seem to have much luck fitting arms and blades on some of my cars, like the Airflow and the Franklins. These are fairly short arms and blades. There must be someone who deals in the old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 https://rebuildingtricowipers.com/ this is a link I stumbled on when looking for wipers. No experience with it personally but maybe worth a call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon37 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 As far as I know Ficken (wiperman.com) sells blades with fresh rubber and the correct connectors for the arms. I'm not sure about the arms themselves, but you should ask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan G Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This cheapskate I know (hangs around my bathroom mirror) saved some pretty decent used wipers from his wife's daily driver, took them apart and cut the rubber down to the right length. They fit width-wise just fine, not much different than using the old refills. Did this with a couple sets of ancient blades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
