'96 wiper blade/arm question
I put new wiper blade/arm assemblies on my '96 and they sit up too high, they contact the hood. They will most definitely either jam or scrape the hood if I turn the wipers on. What are the correct wiper blade/arm assemblies for a C4? Can they be had at a local auto parts store? If so what brand/style/part number should I get?

My search came up with Trico 20-1 as exact fit for a 96 Corvette. Yours have the pin or the hook? These appear to be the hook type. My 85 has the pin and 20-2's were correct for it. Any part store should carry them just give them a call. I ordered mine from Amazon though. HTH.

I was going to but changed my mind, I figured I'd try to get some on the used market first because 22 bucks each for new ones is a freaking rape job for such a small little piece of plastic. I scored two of them for 10 bucks shipped this morning. Thats much closer to what I think they're worth...

I figured out how to make the wiper arms/blades I have work, I just needed to tweak them a little in the middle where the pin fits in them to lower the height of them, now they clear the hood with no problem.

CH-20-M fit my 96 (with the 1/4” pin arms) clear the hood and don’t clash together. I “think” I got them at Advance Auto but would still like to hear about as many other PROVEN brands part numbers as I can. Ones that actually fit are hard to find. The part number cross reference books in the stores are worthless!!! The ones they cross reference will only work if you leave your hood propped open!🤪
