Who made the original wiper blades?
« on: June 02, 2019, 06:25:16 PM »
I can never remember if it was Anco or Trico...….

Where is a good source of REFILLS for these?

Thanks!

Trico was most typical. FYI the mfg design has evolved over the decades. There are small nuances differences in the rubber appearance and the metal. In other words although the Trico refills you buy today are similar in appearance to the ones that came on the cars when new but they have different mfg details. Many auto parts stores and Mustang parts vendors sell the modern Trico brand refills.

There are also reproductions of the originals not made by Trico.
An example with the early style dot pattern rubber:
