Question Wiper Blades.

Just curious to see what kind of blades everyone is running. My stock ones are now chrome instead of black and the blades have sap on them (yet I don't park under trees ). So it is obvious I need to replace mine, odds are I'm going with Anco Hydroclears or Rain X blades.

Re: Wiper Blades.

I just get the rubber blade inserts.

I usually get pissed and break any of those generic blade assemblies.

Re: Wiper Blades.

Bosh micro-edge 24" replacment inserts. They have the same thin metal backing strips as OEM.

The wipers have lost most of their paint? Just get a can of flat black spray paint. That will fix them for a few more years.

Re: Wiper Blades.

I beleive Anco is the only company that makes wiper blade (not just the inserts) replacements that fit 93-97 F-bodies. I was about 1300 miles away from home a few months ago and it was the first time i got caught in heavy rain in my car since i bought it and realized i needed wiper blades pertty badly. I stopped at autozone and they only had one Anco blade, they didn't even have the inserts available. I ended up buying the set for the 98-02 and removed the inserts and put them on my stock wiper.

Re: Wiper Blades.

AFAIK 93-97 only accepts refills and the whole arm is not designed to be replaced. All the wiper look-up books I've ever looked at have always specified refills. You could probably replace the arm but it may not work right/make good contact with the glass.

Re: Wiper Blades.

Just triple check the packaging and what the retailer lists before buying.
Our blades assemblies are a little more difficult to find (and more expensive, I paid $30 for 2 wiper assemblies), but they are available.
