A replacement set that's currently made ?........Probably not.
I'd bet if you want blades that match the JG you'll need to hunt for originals. Way back, when Trico was still making products in Buffalo, they sold 15" blades that were flat on top but the finish was more sand blast than satin AND they were stamped TRICO MADE IN USA on just one end.
Those were as close as TRICO ever sold for your application through replacement parts.

Re: Wiper Question

The blades shown are aftermarket Anco anti-wind lift blades. The foil shape across the top was supposed to catch the wind and hold the blade to the windshield. They were popular back in the day and actually worked to a small degree. You can still find them at swap meets and on line. I have used and sold many sets over the years.

Re: Wiper Question

Larry, That’s the exact arm set up on the car now…Thanks. Is Feb 66 considered early production?

Re: Wiper Question

What does the screw on the wiper arm adjust?

The screws adjust the position of the arms either toward the lower molding of the windshield or upper molding. This helps to get the spacing between the two arms so they don't catch each other as just positioning by the mounting splines may not place the arms in the proper positions.

Re: Wiper Question

Paul: Not in my mind; more towards the middle of production. My was assembled 9/20/65 which is super early. Larry
