pughs Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi, Does anyone out there have a good photo of the on/off switch used to control the Trico Visionall Wiper? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yachtflame Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 This is what they look like. I have one that I’m rebuilding at the moment. Let me know if you are in need of one. Wayne yachtflame@yahoo.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thank you for the photo. This is supposed to be one but it looks much different from yours. How does it work? Is there one vacuum line for each half of the windshield or something else? Also, the knob or piston appears to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 A Trico visionall switch is the most difficult part to find for any Cadillac in the early 30s. It took me 17 years to find one. And it’s not my first rodeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Ed, Did your switch look like either one in the photos? Edited April 26, 2021 by pughs (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Steve, the knob portion looked the same as Wayne’s. It was two positions, and the back side I can’t remember. If you over tighten them they snap off...........just tighten them with your fingers.........even just a bit of torque with any tool will make them fail.

yachtflame Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I may have one of those also. I’ll look tomorrow and get back to you. wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne yachtflame@yahoo.com This is exactly what my 1931 LaSalle Sedan has..... but I am missing the entire Trico Visionall unit that goes outside under the visor cap... should anybody have an extra one. Oh, and I need the two wipers also. Thanks, Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Victor, The Visionall units come in various widths. Make sure you measure carefully and get the right one for your car. The wiper arms are simple wires that are used to attach regular Trico blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Thank you, Steve! 45" wide is what I will be looking for! Thanks for the info and for the pics. At this point, that I am trying to learn about them, it is great information! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Here are some images that might help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Thank you, Steve!! Very helpful. I can't see well because of the measuring tape, but it appears my LaSalle had slightlly different attaching parts. I am attaching 3 pics of what I have up there under the visor... the two sides plus the vaccum tubes... Yes! I need to do a good cleaning in the area!

pughs Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Here is a better view of the bracket. This is on a Stearns-Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Thank you very much, Steve! I guess I could change mine and use any supporting bracket needed, as long as the tube comes in 45" wide. I hope to find one soon, even if it does not work and have it there at least for the looks. Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 I have some others but they are all too short for your needs. They all have the same kind of brackets which are part of the wiper not separate brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I will look for the closest unit in size and won't take much the brackets as a defining factor. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Anybody out there that would have a 45" Trico Visionall unit or know where I could look for one? Thanks, Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
