40 Wipers
I’m using the original vacuum wiper motor and wiper towers on my 40. What wiper arms and blades does everyone recommend. I’m seeing several different styles being offered.

Re: 40 Wipers
To be frank, I doubt if you will get super duper performance from any vacuum controlled wipers. The technology of the time just didn't measure up to the task.
Carry a bottle of RAINX with you. |

Re: 40 Wipers
Rain X is also in my plan, just don’t want to install some kind of offshore garbage wiper blades or arms that won’t seat properly on the shafts that’s going to fly off first time I attempt to use them going down the road. Was hoping to see more feedback from others experiences but apparently there’s no issues with what is on the market. Thanks for the responses 👍

Motor not running, tune wiper knob fully on, take off the vacuum hose from wiper motor. Take a short hose from wiper motor in a oil can, drag the wiper ALMOST to max, and then return to parking position. This will suck oil into the Wiper motor and keep the leather seal on the piston moist so it will seal. I do this once a year and it keeps the motor working nice. Rune from Norway |

Re: 40 Wipers
Thanks Kube, that is what I’m looking for is recommendations. Drake is out of stock at this time for the Coupe-Sedan style. I’m in no hurry I’ll find them.
