what modern wiper ARMS will work on a Cruiser?



I hate the huge gap of UN=wiped windshield, and I want some longer blades!

Just use the longest that will function without interference.

I forgot what size I used on my old '63 Lark but I use 13" blades on the '56 Power hawk and did so on the old '64 T-Cab.

I agree, the old standard size blades were pitiful...

I would recommend instead of looking for different arms, just try to find some longer blades... measure the gap between the end of the wiped area and top/side of the windshield, figure the longest blade that will work, then look at the stuff used on vintage Ford and GM products... A lot of them used stainless blades very similar in appearance and with the same kind of attachment. You might get lucky and find some at a junkyard once you figure a year/model to look for. Reason I say this is that one of my pet peeves is a nice old car with black plastic wiper blades... to me that's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

for info on refilling them see my web site...

good luck

I can't find any blades that will work with the arms!
