Help with Windshield Wiper Blades

[Ron Sebastian]

I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I am on my third set of wiper blades that just don't fit on the post arm like the originals. What is everyone using for wiper blade replacements? Tried the Anco and Trico Gold. The attaching points don't feel right on them.

Most have an adapter in the box to go from the J hook to that type. There’s usually instructions in the box on which adapter and how to make it work.

Same as I have on my 90. The small side pin. I just ordered some Bosch Spectrum Direct Fit. Pretty sure that's what I have on there now. Make sure you get wipers that say they work with a small side pin. They all don't come with all the adapters anymore...

And with these tall connectors, the blades block the squirter. No solutions yet!

You may have to move the washer nozzle back out of the way. It will slide up and down on the arm.

Not a GM squarebody, but a Chrysler squarebody, my '91 Cherokee has these and I replaced mine yesterday and they fit just fine. Trico 18-1.

Have you tried the OE Replacemnt Trico 16-1? Or do you prefer the fancy wipers?

The holders on my truck are U shaped, original

Just out of curiosity, can you post up a pic of how they are installed on your truck?

Here’s a picture, they appear to have a sort of an adapter. Parts stores are required to install them if I'm not mistaken

Yours appear to be the old slip on the end type. The OP has the side lock type I think. Hopefully he posts up a pic as well.

I saw a post somewhere a while ago where a guy cut off the end and welded the newer hook style to the end of it. That way you can use the new style wipers. I bought some to do this but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Here's what I went with and how they look.
