Title: Wiper Repalcement
Post by: oldgrayrider on June 29, 2018, 08:43:41 am
Anyone familiar with a part number and/or source for wiper replacement - 97 U320. Tried all the auto parts places but the arm attachment fitting is too wide to use any of their models. Worst case I guess I'll have to "uncrimp & recrimp" a replacement blade.

Trico 67-261 may be the ticket for you.

Thanks T-Man.

O'rielly in Blairsville GA says they can get them today. I went to O'rielly yesterday in another city & they said no such thing at Orielly. That store is 30 mi away & they get their parts from the same warehouse. Go figure.
Appreciate your help.

I got mine at O'riley's,  snug fit but OK.  Take in an old one and they should be able to match it.  Have a great day  ----  Fritz

Just change rubber: pull out metal side slats, remove rubber, reverse with new rubber and re-use metal slats. Common way to replace wipers. Very difficult to match the good orig quality metal parts.

This works on my 2003.

RainX B-26-2 at Walmart. Not all Walmarts carry this blade. That's the only blade I've found locally that works, none of the auto places I've checked carry anything that fits, all too wide.

Trico as mentioned and a new wiper arm assembly as the spring that holds the wiper to the glass looses tension over 20 years.

New spring pulls the wiper harder to the glass a bit.

Mine are a 28 inch blade and I believe they are made by ANCO.

Bob, where did you find the wiper arm assembly?

I think it was bus parts
