Hi. 1st post from new member. I just picked up a '69 coupe, and am planning lots of projects with my 16-yo son. It's a small thing, but the wiper refills are shot. I called local dealer, who said that they could be either Trico or Anco. Does anyone know how to tell the difference, and a good source to buy from. I picked up a set of 15" "universal" refills from Auotzone, but they weren't quite universal. I'm glad I found this forum. I've been browsing the posts and it looks like this is the place to come for technical info and advice.

If you're looking to just replace the blade portion, those refills come in 3 different widths. Don't rely on calling the dealer or the parts store. Take the blades in and have them matched up.

I think most likely they are Trico and 15 inch sounds correct. The arms themselves are different for coupe and convertible but blades are the same. I picked up my replacement blades/rubber off ebay and they were a perfect fit.
