Does anyone have source or part number for replacement windshield wipers? Parts stores don't have anything that mounts as ours do (single screw). I've done a search on windshield wipers but only find conversions to electric.

Thanks,

Last time - I used a blade refill for the "Anco 52-20", but I've got a set of full wipers that are "Trico 63-201" (but not actually ever installed them - YMMV).

reason why your having problems finding them is that it is a TRUCK wiper.
NAPA has them and so do all the GMC shops. Go to our NEW web site:
gmcrvparts.com , you'll get some ideas as to what we carry plus more and
get free tech help without needing to purchase a thing.

Thanks Jim but that wasn't quite the problem. It seems that FLAPS carry only hook and bayonet mounting styles and no refills as wide as the GMC. I didn't think to check the local NAPA store. And yes, I realize a great many GMC motorhome parts were derived from the truck product line.
