Hi,
These are from my 71, #6589. A little 'goopy'?

Alan,

Do you believe that the refills from 1971 are original equipment?

Do the refills have the following molded into the rubber?

"ONE OR MORE PATENTS", "2543383,2687544,2697241", "2766474, 2834976, BR683375", "702899, 702900", 702849 CAN. 52,55,59" and "PATENT PEND."

Hi Dave,
I'm the original owner of my car and the wiper blades are the originals. I drove the car daily for about a year and a half, and after that only on occasion , a total of just over 46k miles, so the blades remain in good condition. The middle 2 pictures show some of the numbers and wordage you've listed.

1968-72 Corvette wiper blades have great longevity because they are mostly protected from the sun.
