Hi,

Trying to find inserts for my 68 which has these arms and not having much luck. Anyone have a part number that matches this? Images attached.

I tried a set, look good but incredibly hard to install. The loops on top of the blade are too high and run into the frame.

Larry, Do you have the original or accurate replacement wiper arms for your convert? They are different than the coupe and there is a right and left side arm for the convert. The left being 1/4 inch shorter than the right.

Not sure, didn't know they were different I actually bought two sets of these refills, one for the FB and one for the GTO. PITA to install.

Just checked, one of them is about a 1/4" shorter. Never knew that. Always thought they were the same.
