Wiper Blades
Hi,
I have a 1990 convertible. Where can I find a correct pair of replacement wiper blades? I have been through 3 different sets, they all stand too tall when installed and get caught under the hood. I obviously need a pair with a very low profile.
I ordered a set from a Corvette specialist and they would not even go on the wiper arm.
any advice appreciated.

Get the right OEM metal wiper blades and be done with it!
These are genuine AC-Delco metal wiper blades, like the ones your C4 came from the factory with. They work great, won't fall off and will clear the hood just like the OEM ones did. If these don't work you have other problems;
AC-Delco part # 8-2202 GM part # 89001009

You just have to check your car as to the post if it is 3/16" or 1/4" The 202-204 are for different post sizes

Went through a similar scenario with my '86. I tried another brand, but they were too tall. Went with Delco.
