1973 wiper blades

Where can one get the correct wiper blades that don't hang up on the hood for this year?

You may want to adjust the blade arms so that one closes a little later than the other. just a simple screwdriver and move the one that is catching on the hood.

most 73's you see at car shows have gouges out of the fiberglass from the wiperblades hitting as they come out, look in the corvette central catalog. thats where i got mine. the 73 blades are a low profile blade,a nonmal blade scratches the hell outta the hood when they come out

Bob,

Email bounced. Mine are metal and do not look high or 16" long. They appear to fit perfectly. I'll try to measure them tonight. The Napa I bought them from is - Doug Taylor - 540 663 3634.
