Wiper Arm Upgrade

[jimharold]

Hello All,

I hate Generic parts! So when my wiper arms started to strip and fail I had to find a decent looking fix. The Anco replacement with the plastic disc looked odd. But I had a 41-03 wiper arm from the junk yard so I took it apart. Well the old Dodge arm piece with the bend fit right into the Anco part. And since it is adjustable I was able to get it just right. And it looks great. So here is how easy it was to upgrade.

Old arm on left and Anco on driver side.

Measure from bend to nut.

Pop off the cover.

Expose the guts.

Drill out the rivet.

Wiggle it apart.

Old arm has a bend.

Straighten it out.

Slide together and measure.

All together.

That is all the website will allow. More to come.

Here is the rest.

Install the Adapter that came with the arm.

Pop it in place.

ANCO 41-03 had the adapter included. I don't think it said the adapter was in the box but it showed up.

Super easy and took maybe 20 minutes. I hope this helps anyone in the same place I was. The Anco 41-03 may or may not have the adapter. Different reviews said "yes and no". Good luck.

If only I could find the factory arms (with bolt on the end) that weren't $350!
