windshield wiper removal
Thanks for looking, once I get arm off and disassembled will see if I can find a spring somewhere that I can make work. In the mean time I managed to slide the defective wiper arm/blade past the inspector on my state inspection, it does go back and forth with the driver side! Both springs on my '62 Valiant failed about 1979 due to corrosion, on the same rainy trip home. Changed the passenger to driver side and it only lasted a short while. Wound up rigging coat hangars to at least get some touch of blades on windshield and get home. RainX works pretty good, too. Grandfather used glycerin from the local drug store in the very old days. He wished he had remembered that when his Cordoba wipers went out on a trip. You do what you have to! BTW, none of the wiper blade products mentioned earlier will work on this '64 Barracuda. In fact I can't find any commercially available blades or refills that are compatible with the original equipment, save a pair of Amazon refills that are on back-order.
