WTB oe factory wiper blades that have the "arrowhead" looking ends to them. Shoot me a picture and price please 95 LT1.
Thanks!

believe you are mis informed arrow tip stopped in 1994 and 1995-1996 had a comletely differrent arm blade all together.
Here is apicture of what you need , these are original and not cheap. You can get replacements from ecklers that will pass ncrs specs. Go ahead and buy arrow tip you find out the hard way they will not fit on 1995 or 1996 arms.

Google search 1995-1996 wiper arms and even 1995 zr1 lt5 under hood pictures and look at the low mileage cars in pix they have the same blade as the ones attached. The car you need as reference will have the asr cover. 1994 will have arrow tips 95 z will have the generic looking ones like 1996.

Ecklers has them for reference as well

1984-1994 had same arm 1989-1994 had arrow tip (trico)
1995-1996 had a different design all together.

I don't believe there's ever been a change in the GM SPO '95 & '96 blade and I'm quite sure they're still available. I doubt they were ever date coded.

22154985 for the left and 22154368 for the right. They should be very inexpensive. Dealer at 'retail' is less than the Eckler's price.

Why would you NOT walk into a dealer? I'd think anyone with a 'relationship' should buy for $10 or less

That blade is correct , the insert may not be.

ZIP doesn't mention L/R specifics! Theirs could very well be a pair of 20-4 that are after-market replacements. Actually any of the resellers could be offering the same. I just looked and ZIP mentions both L & R part #'s as a reference.

I don't understand 'the rush' - You mentioned the Nationals and I thought participation required several local and regional to actually be eligible for the nationals. Vegas is quite a haul I'd think if you thought '18 participation.

you are very informative, however you are not correct on info on this one. they are different in 95 and 96 the arm has a bigger head with the insert pin has more girth . pre 94 have smaller head with insert pin .also the blade is just like his picture and mine. if he is looking for correct NCRS rubber inserts for the blade the picture i have posted is original with plastic ends. your part numbers are correct but are no longer available. and ecklers is cheaper than you think. dealers bend you over too. i was gonna post the link but i knew i would have the trolls with their 2 cents.

I understand the differences and have converted maybe a 1/2 dozen cars through the years. I won't debate the 'maybe' difference on the insert but I'm quite sure the dealer #'s are still available. I haven't called a dealer but it might be a good call.

Bent over? Sometimes it's how you act when walking in the door!!

I've used this as a reference when I've been asked what to do if someone wanted to do the conversion. I believe the information to be correct.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to verify I have correct blades and inserts for NCRS. I only care what it left the factory with not the new part numbers as they would likely be better but not technically "correct". Also the NCRS book says SOME inserts have been observed with 1x 7a94 and a series of dots. My rubber inserts have some lettering and numbering but it is too small to really read. Any info on how to tell the correct - as left the factory - blades and inserts for 95? Thanks again!

Fauxari08

wtf? guys get a life , bent over?/ never said a such thing. all i was doing is steering this dude in right direction . i don't care what your post is about arms ,blades etc. i was correct. 95 -96 are different he originally asked for ARROW TIP (TRICO). which is not correct for his application. arrow tip are not used on the 95-96 vettes. he has correct blade holder the insert is not. did not know this until this morning because he uploaded pictures. The difference from most that think they know everything about c4's than myself i have hands on experience with ALL years from 85-96 . never owned an 84 my point is i have the physical parts to reference, not pictures and part numbers. reference all you want i have 3 96 on premises , 1 in which is a low my GS and a Low mile Collectors both Verts . and 1 95 that is a test car.. so i think i should be able to steer Chris in the right direction with the actual parts needed to get his car jugdged.. That's all i was trying to do.

i will respond to his PM and hopefully get him what he needs to get his car ready for judging.

Go ahead and rant won't respond any further unless with the OP does.

When all else fails contact Tom Barr who is the head judge for 90-96. He has always helped me and is super nice. I would suggest getting the car judged at a regional or two prior to Nationals. Most folks are already planning for Dave McLellan or Dave Hill at the Nationals unless of course you live close. I have a 94 McLellan car and my 90 ZR-1 scored 98.1 this year at the Florida Winter Regional. Any help I can provide I am more than willing, but I DO NOT KNOW the 95-96 wiper blades. I have not had any of mine judged for dates, only configuration & condition. Hope this helps and good luck. Personally I worry a lot more about the PV than this, but that is me.

Thanks for the picture, the stamp on the AC condenser tank is neater to me as any cleaning removes it. If you have a good picture of one for a late 93 (my 94 is VIN 265) or for an early 90 ZR-1 I would love them. Ruler would be helpful to match size.
Thanks

Corvette '95; I'd be really interested in seeing this corvette you're building with so many stock parts.

corvette95

Any questions RandomTask?? Stock wheel are in the box FYI.

Nice! Do you prefer white for a color? How many miles are on it?

And most importantly, do you ever drive them?

corvette95

I do prefer white, also like the one year colors. This 95 is a one year color. Would like a Purple 95 ZR-1. Fan of Admiral Blue as well. I do drive them. One is a driver (rain or not) the others are fair weather only. They average (minus the driver 89 conv.) is 400-500 per year depending .
