any new break thru-s in windshield wipers since the last time this popped up here -- i know there was some universal wipers that some folks have had some luck with by anco ?? ***maybe*** anyway thought i would ask again what folks are doing as i'm get close to accusingly driving far enough that rain could surprise me.

Hi Jeffery,  I'm still using the wiper arms that came with mine when I got it. They are some kind of universal, adjustable length ones. But I don't know the brand name.  I did replace the blades last year with common 13" ones. I also had to pull the passenger side shaft out of the cowl and repair it. The adapter that holds the arm on had worn the shaft so badly that it wouldn't stay tight.  Gary Hammond,   |

Hi, Jeffrey and T,
I use 11-inch ANCO blades in what I think are ANCO arms. The arms fit over the ribbed fittings on the ends of the wiper barrels.
I found that anything longer than 11 inches just lifts off the windshield and serves no purpose other to look a little stupid.
Hope you guys are doing well. Nice to see you active again.
xx

bought that one -- and it arrived . FYI the arm is quite short -- i think that i can make it work with some customizing the barrel fit was the big thingfor me to find, but other folks looking might want to know that its a bit stubby.

As noted in the thread I linked to above, I found the 4103 model to be much better suited.
Sincerely,

I don't know about the arms but being a new owner I found that O Reilly Auto Parts (if there is one in your area)has the blades in stock.Advance and Auto Zone did not even list them and said they were not available.I hope this helps someone.

On my GT2 I run only one wiper - the driver's side. I found a blade that covers most of the rest of the window. Looks cool, too.

Good idea! I just got my wipers to work today. I had to remove the motor to discover that the wiring was all jacked up, that's why none of the standard wiring would work. I put it back in and for the time being I have one speed. I couldn't help but notice how much of an eye sore the passenger side wiper is. I also noticed the wiper arms are starting to rust.
Mrbigh, what are you using for a wiper arm?
Thanks,
