I think I read in the pass on this site, that some people have brought 28" wiper blades at much lower cost than the 32" blades...if this is correct where did you get the blades at?

O'Reillys in Kingman Az had 32" blades. A whole lot of RVs in the area though.

Seems foolish to me...

On a 60" windshield measuring from top to bottom 4" is not going to affect an visibility..thanks for asking


Because those large blades are near impossible to find in the local store. The largest ones that still provide a large viewing area are available just about everywhere!

TruVision makes 32 inch wiper blades with large J hook. I buy them from different sources depending where I am when needed.

Google TruVision 32 inch wiper blades.

The problem I am having is that the wiper arm "J" hook for the 32" wiper blade is to big to fit in the slot for a 28" wiper blade.

I have had a hard time finding wiper blades for my Fleetwood Expedition the head are held on by 2 screws. I ended up buying some refills off ebay but I would really like to get some better blades. The other issue is the washer nozzles are on the wiper arm.

My MH had the large "J" hook on the arm, blades were $45 bucks each. These blades with the large frames would lift off the glass in high winds. So I went to the junk yard and got some arms off a ford pickup. Cut the last 3" off these and the MH arms. Welded the smaller "J" hook to the larger arm. Now I buy frame less blades for $10 at wally world.
