Wiper balance screws
Can anyone tell me if these are the correct screws for the wiper valance?

Re: Wiper balance screws
I think the factory ones were phillips head screws. That's what's on mine, but so many of them have rusted so bad, the head is almost gone!

Re: Wiper balance screws
I was thinking that too. I was not disciplined enough to store all the screws in Ziplocs. I do have some Phillip head screws , but I think the ones I tried were too small. They gotta be around here somewhere. Just thought I would see what everybody else has on their truck.

Re: Wiper balance screws
These are the ones you need. They say 67-72 Hood-to-cowl seal retainer screw set. But they are the same as the ones used on my 66

Where exactly does the weatherstripping go? Is it attached to the valance or the hood?

Re: Wiper balance screws
So, I presume the notched part of the rubber goes under the wiper valance?

Re: Wiper balance screws
The notch is there to fit around the washer squirter nozzles.
