I purchased a set of outer window wipes for my 1984 corvette from Corvette Mods a few weeks ago. I have contacted them already but I would like to know if anyone has run into this problem. It is that my original wipes are longer than the ones they sent me by close to 3/4". All the clips and holes line up from front to back except the last hole for the pop rivet. The complete rear portion of the wipe is 3/4" too short. I sent several photos of the problem. Most vendors get their parts from other sources and that is the same with Corvette Mods. They are nice about it except that I hear a "but" in their voices when they try to find what the problem might be.
I think all the door lengths are the same from 84 to 96. So I don't see how mine could be shorter except for just a bad batch of wipes cut for them. Anyone run into this problem?
This is of one of mine old under new.
Both sides are short by the same amount. It may look shorter that 3/4" but that is because of the photo angle. Like I said. All the clips and rivet holes match up to the last hole and length being shorter.
I hate to bring back a post that is over a year old, but I also ran into an issue with my 1984 window seals not fitting properly. A friend of mine gave me a drivers side seal/sweep from Corvette Central and on their website it specifically says they DO NOT fit early 1984. So where do I get the proper seals being that my 1984 was manufactured in January 1984. None of the clips line up with the holes in the door.
