This is an article I did a couple of decades ago and updated in 2008 about
refills for the Healey wiper blades.   A copy is also attached.

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 Spidell - San Jose, CA
