[Healeys] Windshield wipers

[warthodson at aol.com]

I purchased a set of the Moss Blades recently, too. As you said the metal part
of the blade is excellent, but the rubber part is way too wide. Very
disappointing. What we now need is what used to be called a "refill". Just the
rubber part with the thin metal blade carrier around it. I think I am going to
try to remove the Moss rubber blade & insert a new rubber blade from my local
auto parts store.

Listers,

Anyone have a source for wiper blades for a BJ8? I bought a couple from Moss
and
although they looked fine the blade--the rubber part--was about a half-inch
wide
and adhered to the windshield so much the wiper motor couldn't move them! It
was
raining pretty hard--duh--and luckily I had backup, older used blades I used
for
the remainder of the trip.

I ordered a set of 'Trico Classic' 10", but they don't fit the small bayonet
type of wiper arm. A couple years ago I got a set from Napa that fit and
worked
great, but they're black.

Also, what is correct for a BJ8--9-inch or 10-inch blades?

TIA,
Bob
