Who makes decent wiper arms?
I can't seem to get more than a couple of years out of the LMC wiper arms before they get really loose at the pivot point. Any suggestions?

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
I bought mine from CPP off of Ebay. I've only had them for about a year, but they work just like new so far.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
why not use a set of the original trico arms. they are stainless steel. i still use my oem arms and they work great. they pop up online and on the forum quite a bit. i may even have another set...i can look. nice thing is you can pop them off and buff them out every few years to repolish them.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
Thanks for the replies. 1963, if you come across some spares let me know. I will try our NAPA in the meantime. I also appreciate the link to Top Banna.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
Napa was mentioned twice. Anyone have part numbers for the arms and blades? My Napa counter people dont have a clue.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
I know the blades are OWI NB13 and they are $5.49 each. I know they have wiper arms also....I have the part # at home. I can post that tomorrow.
Deryl....i'll look tonight for the extra set of arms I have. Had a real busy weekend. wiper head link: http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...B13_0268735836

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
A series 73 adjustable wiper arm should fit. The Series 73 has accepts a knurled knob and the arm length and blade angle are adjustable. The attached link shws a parts catalog. but your Napa dealer may have a different book.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
Thanks for the info, guys! I checked at work today on our online Napa catalog and those part numbers listed in that Trico catalog wouldn't cross over, so I'm hoping that 1963c-10 will post his part number for the arm.
Thanks again!

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
Thanks for the link, but that was for the blades. What the OP, myself, and a few others are interested in is the number for the arms. Thanks again, though, for that blade number!

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
I did get them a couple of days ago. They are identical to the worn-out ones that are on the truck right now. I haven't had a chance to install them yet, though. Been too busy with other irons in the fire. I'm going to wait until I pick up a 2-spd. wiper motor and convert it over to install the new arms.

Re: Who makes decent wiper arms?
Stainless steel, as in having a shiny chrome appearance? No. They are more of a grey aluminum color, to the best of my memory. I wasn't as concerned about their appearance as much as I was their functionality, so I didn't pay real close attention to that. They do have the adjustable-style head, however.
