Wiper Blades

[41Fordor]

I took apart my vacuum wiper motor and cleaned and lubed the vane, seems to work fine.

But now I have a dumb question: what wiper refills do I need? "Hook" or "wrist", mine don't look like the wipers in Macs online catalog.

Also does the longer arm go on driver or passenger side, thanks

Those are universal adjustable arms, pull out the little tab on some, or just friction to adjust arm length

The blades are universal also, your arms have the end for "hook", the blade that is on the arm has the hook adapter stuck in it ---the other kind of arm goes into the 1/2 moon cutout

The wiper arm and 9" hook blades on Mac's are the original authentic stock style for 40-48. Those you pictured are not. I use the stock blades for authenticity but unless you are real lucky to get an absolutely straight blade they do not wipe as clean as wrist action blades. The problem I had was that I did not find wrist action blades 9" long. They were either 8¼" (which is correct for 32-39) or 10". Just one more reason I stuck with the stock arm and blades.

The stock arms are both the same length but left and right angled as shown at Mac's.

If you want to try the wrist action wipers the arms are here: https://secure435.hostgator.com/~dlvry40/ufolder/ShowProducts.php?c=1&s=30&g=281&t=1752&tn=

And the blades are here: https://secure435.hostgator.com/~dlvry40/ufolder/ShowProducts.php?c=1&s=30&g=282&t=1758&tn=

Kinda pricy though. All four pieces total up $68.00.
