Stock wiper blade replacement

Refills are still available, unfortunately the jobbers don't have them on display. Your chalenge, should you accept, is to identify which of the 3 design fits your current arms.

There were at least two different wiper arms used, too. Our '72 L came equipped with the early stainless-wire arms directly off a '70s Jaguar. These have less spring pressure and float off the glass at lower speeds than solid arms. I finally changed them for flat-black solid arms due to late-afternoon glare off the stainless, and my reluctance at having to powder-coat the stainless every few years. Both arms used 16" blades which do not hit anything when properly adjusted.

I just looked at my wiper arms and they are labeled Arman & C. I guess that's the manufacturer. They are flat black.

Anyway..... I replaced the 15in blades with standard refills I got from Walmart. They sell the same type at Kmart, Target, or your common auto parts stores like Kragans. I believe all the refills are black but I could be wrong.

Ditto, but a well-worn stainless.
