DonaldSmith Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I had a trick to fit more standard wiper blades onto the hook-end of the wiper arms. With a hacksaw, I cut a slot across the top of the blade housing, to let the end of the hook protrude. Here is a crude photo. To the right is the slot across the top of the housing, with the hooked end of the arm sticking up. Someday I've got to get clearer photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwest999 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 As an FYI, I found new 12" wiper blades that fit great on my '54 Dodge Meadowbrook. Got them from Napa for $10.49/wipers. They are aftermarket; however, if your car is a driver it might be a good solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Detweiler Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 If I remember correctly, the factory wipers on my 39 are 10". 12" may work? I found a pair of NOS 9" still in the original box at a thrift store. I used my original 10" wiper hardware and bought some wiper rubber and cut it down to 10" and it fit the holder.

chrysler1941 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I get these stainless from local boat accessories shop. For some reason they still use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones44 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 check out New Port Engineering.com a bit pricey but quality is there and they are stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunah Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I simply bought one 22" blade. I took the original blades apart. You just have to carefully bend one set of tabs in order to slide the insert out. I reused the metal supports from the original blades and cut the new blade to fit. Slide it all back together, carefully bend the prongs closed and you have two new blades super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Detweiler Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I did the same thing. Rebuilt the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
