Original Hand Wiper Blade
So I got an original handwiper that was made by trico for my roadster. The only problem is, it needs a new piece of rubber for the blade. Has anybody ever replaced the rubber in an original? It is in beautiful shape so I really don't want to just hang it on the wall or something.

The vendors sell complete blades. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/wiper-blade
Are you wanting to keep the original metal section? |

I picked up the rubber refill for a window washing squeege at a True Value store and it fit the original metal piece perfectly.

I was ways pleased how effective this wiper was in my '29 CCPU. Never missed a motor.

Re: Original Hand Wiper Blade
Don't forget there are two different lengths of these. One for open cars, one for trucks.

Re: Original Hand Wiper Blade
Did you mean blade length, or the part of the operating handle shaft that fits through the window frame. The trucks run through a tube, so they are longer than my Phaeton, which only runs through two holes in the round frame. Since this gives the shaft very little support, my hand wiper is too sloppy to be useful.

Re: Original Hand Wiper Blade
The blades are the same.
Commercial hand wipers are 5 5/8" for the outside arm, and 2 7/16" where it passes through the windshield. Open cars are 6 3/8" on the outside arm and 1 3/8" where it passes though the windshield. If I get a chance I'll pull mine out for a picture later. |
