Need pics of ...
... windshield wiper arms for 1969 vert. I think mine are correct except that they're missing the squirters. I need to know how the squirters are routed and attached (the driver's side arm has a small squirter support under one of the two rivets near the blade-end of the arm but no squirter tube; the squirter on the passenger side is only attached to the rubber hose and appears to be bent. No squirter support, only a broken rivet head where I think it goes.) I can buy new squirters ("washer nozzle tubes") from Zip plus the plastic clips to support them. And, I see where Zip and others offer complete wiper arm sets with the metal squirters vs. the later plastic versions. If anyone has purchased the metal replacements, what's your opinion of their quality? If the quality is there, will be simpler to buy new.

Here's a couple pics of what I believe are the original squirters on my 71'. One is riveted on the top of the arm, and the other is on the bottom of the arm. Hope this helps.

Gary: Very helpful pics. Thanks for the help. One request - could you shoot a pic of the squirter routing on the righthand arm? My tube has been tortured with kinks and twists. Not sure it's salvageable. A view of an original will help. Thanks, again.

Perfect. I appreciate your help, Gary. Just an observation: kind of strange that they'd point the nozzles down the w/shield. Makes the first half of the wiper cycle a dry one. One of many C3 curiosities!
