I am ordering new wiper blades and arms for my 49. The ones that came off my car are 10". The following ebay link says that the correct 48-49 are 11". My guess is that mine where just wrong. Can someone confirm this please>

These arms seem to be correct:

    Dennis Trico Classic 33-101 is the 10" replacement, you can order through your local parts store for about 15 a pair. 10" is correct 48-53 and 11" is correct for 54, not sure about jet length.

    Dennis,



    The blades and arms on Ebay are a satin finish silver. The original arms and blades were shiny stainless. You can try contacting the following:



    Ficken Wiper Service 132 Calvert Ave West Babylon, NY 11704



    I already had the correct wiper arms and was able to purchase a set of satin finish blades from my local Autozone (Anco Wiper Blade #20-10). I purchased a set of shiny, period correct blades from Flicken. They were not cheap, so I leave the Anco blades on and use the Trico RB-10 blades for special shows .



    Flicken was very helpful and for future reference they rebuild the vaccum wiper motors.
