For '72 hidden style wipers, the metal spring shroud that holds the blade. Managed to toss one while going down the road and seems like the big brands aren't bothering with 16" size blades.

 

I got one, $15.00 shipped? I can get pix if you want?

 

pm sent!

What are other folks doing? I grabbed a standard replacement blade at the parts store for the mean time, but it barely fits under the hood in park...

 

Vintage....

bought 4 of em for an Austrailian gent that buys alot of GTO
stuff from me ... chrome powdercoated not bad
not stainless .... but ..... @ 10.00 each
they will work fine on his Right hand drive 68 GTO convert .........
it rains uphill down there anyways I heard ??

eh ?? nice replacement tho

I chased after the Napa vintage stuff - I though it was just reboxed Trico Vintage - and they denied that 16" exists. Trico only goes up to 15". Can't even find that type of Napa wiper on their website anymore (not that their website was ever very useful.....)

 

I went in asking for refills for Mr C. my Aussie customer.... went to the ole guy
with the blood shot eyes .... that has worked there for 20 years ..... he pulls out
the book asks me 3 times what I was working on...cuts himself on the tattered edge of the worn out counter top. Excusses himself to get a band aid ...
comes back with a shop towel wrapped around his little finger ..

ok ...now ...what was it we were worrkin on .. that was the third time..
back into the trico book ... grabs my wiper and off to the back of the store..
couple minutes go by .........
he comes back up front ..... nothin these are obsolete ...
hmmmmm ... ok .....kinda common still I m thinkin...


the gal that works the counter a bit and does alot of the restocking...
J I will call her .. the gal I ussually work with that is always so helpfull and
pays attention has slipped away from the counter and pops back up
with the shown wiper blade above...

Magic !!!!

she had just restocked the wipers and remembered seeing them ...

thats my story on NAPA and wiper blades ....
