GTfastbacker Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Gentlemen, are these the correct wiper arms for a 41 dodge? If I tighten the wipers tightly, the wiper arm presses on the chrome part and the motor no longer turns? It's as if the chrome part is too high, the axle inside is too short or the wiper arm is wrong? Thank you Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 (edited) Looks like half the splines are wiped out. Probably why it sits deeper? Edited February 28 by Sniper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Skinner Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 GTFastbacker, I agree with Sniper. Those Splines look FUBAR. There were two kinds of wiper arms Anco and Trico. I was at a car show once and the Windshield Wiper Vender came over and told me I had the wrong Wiper Arms and Blades on my 1948 Chrysler, I have Trico's on mine and they work fine. Yours look like my Tryco Arm. He said I should buy his Anco's for $100 - Arms and Blades - this was 10 years ago. Mine are 11" Trico Blades, of course clipped onto Trico Arms. Mine still work fine. Andy Bernbaum sells the Anco Sets for $99, Arms and Blades as of the last time I looked at his Parts Sight On Line about a week ago or so. Its any bodies call put what you like on there. Be sure to measure your Blades some are 10" and some are 11" since you indicated yours is a 1941, and mine is a 1948 there might be a difference. Maybe someone with a 1941 Dodge will chime in here for you. Good Luck. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since i couldn’t scource shafts with better splines i got the problem solved with tiny cone brass sleves i made. Everything works now like new and will hopefully last for these 10 times i need to use the whipers next 50 years… ? Thank you!‘ Joe Edited March 2 by GTfastbacker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Skinner Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 GTfastbacker, Wow, Great improvisation! I do remember someone telling me back in the 1970's that 10" or 11" Blades work best on our cars. I have owned different 1948 Chrysler 's since 1973. Sometimes believe it or not I have seen the Blades at K Mart and or Walmart occasionally for sale on their Wiper Blades Racks. Great work!

Tom You are right. these 12" are a little too long but they are work. Perfect would be 11". Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
