C3 Correct wiper arms for a '69?

[Jack O.]

Hi everyone,

Can someone confirm whether these are correct wiper arms for my 69. I don't believe they are. My wiper door is hitting the right one on all that metal on top which I'm pretty sure is not correct. The blades park nicely but the angle of the right blade I believe is the issue or that mounting for the washer nozzel. Checking the AIM it appears I could perhaps adjust this with "screw A" which my arms do not have.

Thanks,

Jack

That doesn't look like an original. Look on e-bay for "1969 corvette wiper arm original" and you will see a number of originals. Originals all are Trico with a slotted screw adjuster. The use of taller than original wiper blade assemblies contribute to door interference. With the right parts and adjustments, the door will clear the parked wipers.

Also consider 69-73 arms, a change happened near that time so the 73 hood and wiper door changes saw a change in arms. I'd have to check when. If Joe Lucia saw this he may give specific interchangeability to help further.
