Re: Windshield washer wiper clips (silvervetteman)
Paragon started to repo them a few years ago. Up until then, they were one of the "holy grails" of Corvette parts. I looked for years through hundreds of wiper blades at flea markets, and managed to find just a few. :) Chuck

Paragon reproduced the special clips used with the washer tubes used on 69-73? wiper arms. I thought later wiper arms used hoses, not separate metal tubes. Chuck

If you look it items "I" and "J" you will see a small item at the end that is the plastic washer nozzle/squiter. The plastic part is all I am after.

Called Paragon technical service department. Turns our they do have some "refurbished originals". $30 each! Since there is no alternative, I bought a set. $60! before "S&H". What are you going to do? If you need them, there does not seem to be an alternative.

Re: Windshield washer wiper clips (Larry82)
wow.. that's insane, 60$ for 2 pieces of plastic.
I'm not gonna reuse mine, I am seriously thinking about getting some normal european cars nozzles and mounting them on the hood or something. Those stock things of mine don't even spray, they just drip out water :(

Re: Windshield washer wiper clips (Twin_Turbo)
Yes, it is insane, but they are not made and you have to get what you can. I also thought about some other squirter nozzles and on the hood, and then I thought, Nah. Will see if I can repair the old ones some how as a back up.
$60 for the small plastic pieces? Guess this means I am nearing the end of what I want to/can do with out breaking open the engine.
