65 wiper blades
Anyone know the proper length of the original trico wiper blade for a 65? I need the length of the metal blade without the rubber refill. Thanks

Those blades might be correct but the inserts definitely are not. They should have the dotted inserts with the patent #'s.
There are other NOS and Original sets on eBay. Usually run in the $300 - $350 range for blades and inserts that are assembly line correct.
Best,
Dave

He only asked about the length. Wasn't concerned with the inserts.

I think the NOS ones in the eBay ad are new replacements as they have a hinge area on the metal top edge on one side of the blade. The other side being solid straight across. I looked at a few 63-65 cars and both sides of the top of blade were straight with no hinge. Never bothered to check length though. Now I know what to look for. Thanks guys!
