Has anybody converted their pin wiper arms to a hook / loop type that's found on like....allll modern cars? Well, minus those weird clip on wiper things.

I did this on my S-10 using...ugh..Ford F-150 arms with the hook. The fitment of wiper blades is amazing and it cleans so well because the wiper blade is securely attached to the arm!

Plus I think the pin wiper arms attached to the newer blades look so ugly. And it looks like Trico discontinued their 18-2 blades which looked great but wiped like crap!

 

Personally, I don't think the wiper arms look any more dated than the car itself. Plus, they're pretty well hidden compared to modern cars as they tuck down pretty far under the hood/cowl area. Still it'd be a cool mod if you decided to proceed with it. If ya do, post up about what and how you did it.

 

What Im thinking is

1. All wiper arms are more less the same width.
2. Its a matter of finding one with the same length / good angles

So im thinking i'll look for one, disassemble one, then insert it into the 3rd gen arm and secure it down.


We will see I guess!!!
