NAPA wiper arm and blade

[red devils dude]

hey guys I got the NAPA 60-750(wiper arm) and 60-11-011(wiper blade)all figured out
NAPA blades with UK and A #2 on e'm are the WRONG ONE'S you need the one'd that
say TRICO and #1 if you go to advance auto parts or pep boy's ETC ETC and get
A Trico Exact Fit 11-1 blade they fit on the narrow bayonet perfectly this is going in deuce tips and tricks.
now I see that sixbuy said the same thing O well.

AH HA! Not all 60-011-1 blades are created equal! I have two that are different! The swivels where it slides on the arm are different! The one that flops around is stamped "Made in UK" and has the number "2" across the slot. The other that fits perfectly is stamped "TRICO england" and has the number "1" ! Caveat Emptor! Why me?

Walmart carris a replacement blade also that fits right into the wiper arm...

It was posted on an earlier post from about 3-4 months back.

You just have to cut the rubber to the lenght that you want and put a little slit in the rubber and your off and running again.

Just $2.44 for two sets of wipers.

Hey RDD, Looks like you got caught in the same trap I was in! They say " Imitation is the most sincere form of compliment" ... Thanks! (sorry, the 'devil' made me do it!) I think maybe cten is right, if you've already got the arms and don't mind the weak wipe.

Funny, with all the rain (down pours) we have had in New England the past month we have had not issues with the wipers what so ever.

They work great! Better than my regular vehicle.

Where can you get the best and cheapest wiper motors after you get the good wipers? I found some for about $20.00 but they said they were foreign made and about 10 years old?

If you check with Desert Rat and send him some cash before he heads back to Howard's place, he was able to find me the older metal style (not tested/guranteed to work) for less than half that.

LD,
How about $7 each for Made in USA?!?! They can easily be rebuilt if they leak air. I try to find ones that actually move side to side.

If you can get original metal wiper motord, go for it - Big Time!
Plastic units aren't much good, and chink new stuff usually doesn't work
right from the get-go.
