Aftermarket Wiper Arms
I need to purchase at least the driver's wiper arm for my car. The spring broke. Anyone have experience with the aftermarket wiper arms?

Thanks,
John

Here are the ones I bought from Motor City Musclecar from eBay - seem to be the same wherever you go. When I questioned the fit, thy told me their engineers said I had the wrong wiper motor on my car... interesting that the factory originals fit so well. Mine were just a bit rusty and I wanted to freshen up the look. If you want the pair I have, you’re welcome to try them out before you spend any money elsewhere. Maybe you have the right wiper motor....

Something doesn't look right there. Surely they know that its not the wiper motor the wiper arms are attached to.

Thank you for the offer, maybe if you were a little closer I'd take a ride up to see you.

That’s what I told them - here is a comparison of theirs (upper) vs stock:


And if you look at the end, the bend is at the wrong angle:



But their engineers have their opinions, and I didn't get my money back.....

It could be for a B body car. That link is about 3/8" too long.

I'm sure it's possible. If anyone who sees this wants to give them a tryout, I'm happy to send these to them. Drop me a PM.... Everything else about this pair looks exactly like it should, and the passenger side was fine. Just not this one arm....

Good information BSiegPaint!

Anyone have any experience with the wiper arms from Fusick? Are these the same as above?
