Try looking on classic industries - OER makes a few varieties of blades and refills. I found refills for my original blades through them. Also, ebay has some wiper blade options too.

The quarter windows seemed a little slow going up, I thought it was due to dirt and old grease, but upon disassembly, the regulator and tracks were in excellent original condition w/ nice OEM grease. Now I have to find springs......

dang, options are getting limited. :confused:

That's what I was thinking. Instead it makes a right turn at the floor and then goes laterally for about 1" each side. These are all OEM materials installed back in the same locations... I added dynamat to the floors so they raised up very slightly slightly to meet the console just a tad...

Finished the 'stern' last night.... the original carpet cleaned up, and glued up nice.
