Will Dodge Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 What has anyone used for windshield wiper arms and blades? Or is there some hidden stock of originals? Anyone have any photos? Ideas? I will probable never need to use them but would like the look on my M29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 @Will Dodge Wiper arms and blades are made of unobtanium 😀 and are almost impossible to find replacements. Below is a reference photo for you. My advice would be to have a chat with Wiperman and see if he can set you up with a period alternative. https://rebuildingtricowipers.com/ Wiperman.com BTW he does not have anything for a weasel in stock nowadays. Years ago I purchased the last replacement blades he had. Good luck with your search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Dodge Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thanks for the information. Great lead and the photo is tops! I'll let you know how this develops. Some one had to have a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS1 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Has anyone tried just using WWII jeep wire arms and blades? I am just wondering if the would fit on the shaft, and be approx. the correct length (I think weasel is 10" where jeep is 9 or 9.5?) dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 @RAS1Electric wiper arms are 254mm (10"inches) and manual wiper arm is 228.6mm (9"inches) in length. Never tried Jeep wipers but anything is possible nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS1 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I tried the wwii jeep arms. They work great. Not perfectly original but I'm happy . Appears to be the correct splines end, with the jeep style hook blade which is easier to get than the anco elephant trunk blade.

RAS1 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Now, next question, does the electric wiper conversion mean you still use the manual wiper arm as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are aiming for the OEM look, then yes. Keep in mind that the OEM mechanical wiper arm is 9inches in length as opposed to the Motor driven 10inches arm. Wiper blades are all the same length.
