Windshield Wipers
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I'm looking for a set of low profile wiper blades for my 71. I have gotten a few sets that were said to be the right ones but they sit to high and the cover will not sit flush. Has anyone got a part number and mfg. for these blades. Thanks

Are you sure the wiper arms are correctly installed/adjusted to retract into the "parking area" all the way. This would cause the door to come down on top of the arms.

I got mine at Auto Zone and the door goes down just fine. MAybe it has to do with the fact you bought the fake chromed plastic triple bling bling blades.

Don't have the part number but the little book right by the blades tell you which ones just buy the reg grade not extra this or extra that.
their cheap enought to replace twice a year or less depending upon use.
I can almost guarantee they will fit if they don't I look at the way the arms travel and adjust the limit on the door and arms.
