    My car has Carello/Trico wipers which look like they have been on there since new. By the look of it, just the rubber wiper strip gets replaced not the whole assembly. Where can I get new strips?

    Absolutely, any NAPA or ??????


    My old cars have a very delicate holding bracket made of wire....no way I'd change that part!!!

    Ditto, they're standard.
    I got mine from the collection of random stray wiper blades in my garage. I don't know how I acquired so many unused wiper blades!

    Must have been a Sale at Western Auto, years ago.......

    Got them tonight, thanks.

    It's funny, but I never noticed before that so many wipers could be refilled. I always changed out the whole thing.

    For The Record, in case anyone searches I found a NAPA #60-1812 in my #22127, although it says it fits Anco, not Trico holders.....

    Good thing you didn't this time. You would have thrown out about 300 dollars worth of wiper blades!

    The wire frames on ours are pretty rare.......lost, of course if you change out the "blade and holder"....

    One of the few times I ever refused JRV.....he wanted to "borrow one" to deliver a customer's car.....I said "No, thanks....."

    Right, Bubba. Those Carello/Trico wiper blades, in black, are $$$$$$$ expensive. Standard refill blades for those!

    ...saw a dollar yesterday, but the wind blew it away.
