Wiper blade availability?
This could be a problem. I've been using Trico Classic blades for a while now.

I read about First Brands financial issues just yesterday. I missed that Trico was part of them. https://www.ft.com/content/fa10cd1f-...8-6340c767a3fb

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll grab a few pair before they're gone.

The last time I put wiper blades on the 71 ( at least 5 years ago), I bought plastic arms, removed the inserts and installed the inserts in my OE style arms.
