    For those who are using original type arms, Wally World is having a close out on Classic blades.. You'll have order them and pay shipping or can have then sent to your local store...

    Yeah I hate the place as well but for $3.39, I stocked up...

    Saw that too. Must not have 16" anymore, just the other sizes for close out.

    Just looked at Trico's web site. They only make them in 10 through 15's. Wonder if the 15 would be OK?

    Well 15 is what I need for my Falcon so that works for me. Heck it would probably fit just fine on the Mav I know I dont drive mine in the rain unless I get stuck someplace and it rains. Hmm that sounds a lot like Oregon

    Maybe I have wrong ones?? Those are already on my Comet, work fine, didn't know they're not correct...

    The Fairlane had 16", it's the one that needed new blades, installed a set on it as well... Unless mentioned no one will know the difference...

    If you want 16" I think you'll have to go repo(Scott Drake or similar), $15-$20 each...

    I found out not that long ago that when driving 90 mph in my Lincoln, and hit the windshield washer, not a drop will touch the windshield. SCRRREEEEEECH! .... the aero carried the washer fluid right up and over the car. :bouncy:

    NAPA sells their own version of classic wiper arms, too.

    My blades came UPS today (free shipping). The 15" seems just fine. They look good on the '72's arms.

    15" is smaller than the originals on Mavericks. No thanks. I run 17" on my car.
