I'll look for those. But how will I know if they are correct? I thought the ones I bought were going to fit, but they needed modification. Even now I'm holding my breath until the next rainstorm. Haha
Thanks,

>> Hey folks,
>> The other day I had to replace my wipers for the first time since I've owned my '64 300. I found that the so-called replacements (I think bought from Rock Auto, but I wouldn't swear to it) were not made same way the originals were made, so I had to modify the by using the metal inserts from the old blades and putting them on the new ones. It's kind of a pain, but it seemed to work. Anyway, does anyone know of a source for PROPER replacement blades?

>> Also, does anyone know how one would keep the metal arms of the wipers from scratching the windshield as they reach the far end of their sweep? When I get a new windshield, I'd like to keep it nice.

>> Incidentally, does anyone know where a '64 300 windshield could be found for a more reasonable price than $700? It's not a wiper question, but it's related.. sorta. ;)

>> Oh yeah, has anyone ever installed a intermittent control for wipers? The two-speed control generally works as I'd like, but sometimes it would be nice to have a few more speeds...
