Wiper Arm Cover from Eckler's
Does anybody here have one? Does it just stick on? You don't have to remove anything to get it on do you? It is hard to tell from the picture. Thanks in advance.

Great Item!
I think the engineers at Corvette forgot to add this piece to the design of the C-3. Without it, the car looks "unfinished"... I bought one and used stainless steel sheet metal screws to hold it down... Went to a local sign shop and had the letters installed....cost me $15.00 for that...

The thing on the radiator shroud I purchased from either Ecklers or MidAmerica Corvette. It is made for the radiator & came with double stick tape to hold it in place....did not think that was very good, so I drilled a couple of small holes and used short stainless steel sheet metal screws to hold it in place....BETTER!

Wiper Cover
I installed one on my 73. I did not like the large empty area between the glass and the firewall. With the cover on it, it cleans up the area, and I think looks great. I used velcro to hold mine down, and it fit without any trimming.

FYI, I have a 69 with a long L88 hood. I used one of those covers to cover my wiper area too. Fits perfect. No drilling or mods at all. Currently held with douple sided tape but I will go to velcro soon.
