Hello Everyone.
I just noticed that my wiper rubber is torn on one blade. Question #1 how do I remove the blade? Is there an insert I need to pry out with a screwdriver? Question #2 Are these a good replacement? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-581-1582649292.jpg |

The last time I put a set of wiper blades on my 74, I installed Bosch 13" blades. The current part number is C1301 via Oreillys. The blades are very simple to remove. Just depress the little latch on the blade assembly and it should slide right off the arm. The wiper arms are a typical U-hook design.

Make sure the blades are for 7mm arm NOT 9mm.

Or save the 7mm connector from the current set and reuse into new set.

QUOTE(dtmehall @ Jun 13 2026, 06:02 PM)  Thanks for the heads up - and do those come with the adapter for 7mm arms? (I see the adapter(s) picture but just verifying because it doesn't say that they are included). Thanks. |

Thanks for all the suggestions
I know I am being thick headed, but I still am struggling to take the blade off the arm. Can anyone solve where is the latch to release?  As always thanks |
