    Looked through old forms and could not find any info on wiper arm replacement..I still have the old arms but finding replacement blades is getting harder. Was wondering if anybody has replaced the arm assembly with a updated version and if what model did it come off from. Not sure if the round threaded part of the wiper arm assembly is a universal size or Ford size, going to a parts store and asking these type of questions is like asking the guy for the winning Lotto numbers

    Blade refills are getting hard to find, but the new blades do come with an assortment of conectors. there is esually one that will conect to the end of the wiper arm.

    If you can't find a refill, just buy a metal blade and remove the metal strip that holds the rubber blade in. Reinstall it on your ford wiper arms. These blades were 16". Next ones will be 15" as they stick out a bit farther then I would like them to be. Unless your missing the blade holder part of your wiper arm, you may still be able to find the whole metal blade that will fit our arms. Anyway, this worked for me.Windsheild Wiper arms Dsc00110
