Years ago someone--I think on this list*--clued me in to a Rockauto
closeout. IIRC, I bought 10 or 12 for about a buck apiece; they can
come apart or come off their spindles.<br>

more years ago.<br>

request. Could someone with a BJ7 or BJ8, with the later
coil spring to hold the wiper arm to the windscreen, measure
the length of the arm for me. The convertibles had higher
windscreens than the roadsters and I am wondering if the
wiper arms are longer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The
roadster arms are indeed quite different than the
convertible arms. The pre-BJ7 arms have a leaf spring and
they are straight (blades are parallel to the arms), with a
J-shaped insert into the blade. BJ7 and BJ8 arms have a
coil spring and have a straight push into the blade. The
BJ7/8 arms are are bent at the ends so the blades park along
the bottom windshield rubber. There was a difference also
between BJ7 and BJ8 arms in that the BJ7 arms were not able
to sit up off the windshield by themselves when lifted, but
the BJ8 arms stayed upright.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
