Picking up my coach in Columbus. Could someone help with a cross reference on the wiper blades?

I just buy regular wiper blades and drill the hole a little bigger in the arm then put a small stainless steal one inch bolt and nut through the arm and new blades. Works great.

You'll want to go to a truck supply parts for the blades as theyare
hard to find at automotive stores.

We don't use wiper blades in Texas, the dust usually just blows off by
itself.

So THAT's why I get so few electric wiper orders from Texas! :-)

Let me preface this by reminding that most of the early time this coach was involved as a key part of a business and taking time to wait for the rain to abate was not a luxury I could always afford.

One of my nearby NAPAs is the warehouse and cater to local trucking interests. They had a hard time coming up with the any of the above blades, and when they did, what they had was clearly very old stock (and didn't last the summer).

I tried this as well, but trying to get these threaded on and running the ASN down while standing on the front bumper in the rain convinced me to go looking for new wiper arms.

Rainex only works when you are at speed.

If you convert to the 90-96 Lumina APV (or clones), wiper arms, the
associated blades are larger, more effective, and readily available
everywhere from WalMart on up the chain.
