Pete Phillips Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I don't know what these are called, but the windshield wiper arm slips over them and this is what makes them pivot. Need one for a 1953 Skylark. I think any 1949-1953 Buick has the same thing. About 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch with little ridges on the side to prevent the wiper arm from slipping. This one is damaged and cannot be repaired. Thanks for any leads. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pont35cpe Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Pete, could that possibly be a Trico part? If so check with this guy, Robert Bryan 407-865-4851 I`ve always called him 7-9pm Eastern time, he said he`s usually up until 11pm.

Not running; partly disassembled; some parts missing; car has been shuttled around from one restoration shop to another for 15 years. No one seems to be able to finish it. We are going to try!

Pete Phillips Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Leif, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have three of them in my parts list and found them just now! I did not know where to look. I owe you a cold beer, if we ever meet in person! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thanks Pete. I`m pleased I could help you even without a cold beer. Sometimes it`s hard to find parts in Buick part book,I looked at pictures but couldn`t find anything with the wipers so I looked at "body small parts identifikation chart" page 191-A in my 1936 to 1958 body parts book and found the driver on a photo. Good luck with the restauration. Leif in Sweden. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
