Wiper Arms - 68 Camaro
 
Looking for a pair of mint orig style wiper arms.

These are different than the current GM versions - as the mounting hubs the wrong finish.

Let me know what you have please.

Thank you...

still looking!!

Do you have a picture of them

enio45 05-10-2025 06:08 AM

let me get u a picture.....nothing special as to the design, just needs to be free of defects, like pliers, channel locks or other methods people trying to take them off without the right tool.

I have these, but mint mean different things to different people.

I parted out first gens in the 80s and saved all the good parts for me :) But since I have verts, these appear to be coupes. The arms are about 1" longer than a vert. But I am not sure what they came off of.

The blade holders are about 1/2" longer than my 69 verts and have a more rounded profile than my peaked 69 arms. Are they 68s?

no gouges on the arms, clean of bubbles except for one downward side of an arm (shown), but rest of them are clear.

blade holders are Trico, but no stamps on the arms that I can see. Not even sure these arms came with these holders, they have been separated for a long time.

thanks for the post - i guess i need to do some research on this. was not aware of coupe vs convert lengths - the trico peak vs round .

can u send me some shots look straight down on the mounting area please.

let me also do a quick research on this - unless anyone else can chime in :-)

Convert is 1" shorter in the arm.....Joe

Thanks Joe, do you have a length of the Arm and the length of the blade holder?

Maybe, if possible some good pics of yours on the 68Z?

Coupe is 14" & convert is 13". The blade is 15" multi ribbed. 68 & 69 seems to be the same on the arm. My LA 68 has peaked blades & the NOR 69 has the rounded. Does your cell number still end in 59?

yes it does Joe

hard to get a pic without installing them. The arms are 14", the blade is 15.5, so I guess the blades are from a larger car and the arms are Camaro size. I might have some others, I have to look

I found one extra correct Trico 15" peaked blade holder.

enio45 05-11-2025 05:20 PM

Thanks everyone for the response and education - i have a few coming in for closer inspection/evaluation.

ALLZS 05-11-2025 07:05 PM

i have a box full of arms and blade holders if you can show me what style and size you are after i can go through the box

enio45 05-11-2025 07:06 PM

the pics kevin has above are the right style and color for 68/69

the blade holder is the peak style with or without trick - 15 inch long
