Wiper Blades
I have a '69 and wondering if these wiper blades (only choice given) from Corvette Central are the best option?

And yes, I plan to drive it in the rain, and the snow, and every opportunity I get :-)

You can buy blades or refills from your local AP store.

Keep the package and your receipt. While the blade length is easy to measure, the actual height of the metal “Frame” can cause problems. Look at what you have, if they don’t hit anything, then try and get the same type/style frame. When I had my windshield replace the wiper blades on my 73 hit the hood. I took the car back to the glass shop and they were stumped. I ended up getting new blades with frames that are very small. Go figure?
