Once painted, I popped the seal back on over the cowl lip, and reglued the screen in place.

The chromed wiper arms/blades I bought from a forum member here, his forum name is cvetgo.
He was selling a set on here not long ago, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...59&forum_id=53
You may wish to contact him about availability.
