Any known wiper blade adapters for pantograph arms

Post by astrnmrtom »

So far I've been able to do some whittlin' on regular automotive wiper blades to get them to fit the bolt-on attachment points on my '98's pantograph wiper arms. Has anyone found and used an adapter that might make modifying the common wiper blades unnecessary?

Thanks,

I buy the Costco Michelin ones 24" $7.00. I remove the existing adaptor which leaves a thru hole and put the pantograph bolt thru it and the nut. ???

I did the same thing just this week and wipers performed perfectly through snow and storms.
Buy the cheap metal framed wipers and delete the plastic inserts. Be sure to not overtighten the through bolt.
