My wipers are hanging up on the top stainless trim strip as they go by. Does anyone have a cure?

    Trico rb 11 (with J hook mount) were the original blades on the 54 stepdowns which was a change from the 1948-1953 RB10. The 54 had a larger windshield of course. Rb 11 was used on 1950 -52 Cadillac & early Vettes. Ebay has 'em on occasions. I have a NOS set of original RB 12 which are exactly 12 inchs. I was going to bring them to San Mateo along with new Anco 11inch blades, that fit the Trico Arms. Measure the length of the blades on your car. If more then 11" it's too much. Ron

    i was thinking RB11 is correct for 54. also roger you didn't state the application but if 12 is correct, is your blade path such that you can shorten the arms as many are adjustable.

    Your right Nick the 11 inch for the 54s. 55 uses 12" I corrected the reply.

    Ficken Wiper Service to the rescue! The correct 11" blade assemblies are in the mail.

    Anyone need some good, lightly used 12" wiper blades?

    Original size was 10" Available at most auto parts stores. Advance Auto Parts has them available Trico Classic Series# 33- 101 (10') You may be able to use an 11" blade?? I work at Advance and have these on my Pacemaker, about 8 bucks apiece..
