    1972 vs 1973 Wiper Blade Holder Size

    I believe 73 & 72 take a 16" Trico black wiper blade holder. Are they the same for both years? I have a late 72.

    Thanks

        All 1968 to 1981 Corvettes use 16" wiper blades and these are functionally interchangeable. 1982 also uses a 16" blade but it's not interchangeable with earlier.

            All 16" Trico blade holders are not configered the same if judging is in your future.

              That's why I used the term "functionally" interchangeability. Also, I didn't mean that all 16" blades are functionally interchangeable, only that all of the 1968-81 Corvette 16" blades are interchangeable. As far as configuration goes, there is a myriad of configurations.

                I know what is correct for 68+81 Corvettes.

                  I do indeed have judging in mind. I was referring to a clip-type 16" black Trico with TRICO Made in USA on both ends.
