I looked at them, most do have the slot but a few don't.
The slot is only on one end, the end that would sweep
the top of the winshield.

Thanks for checking....and the info.

OK, We vhave established that the originals have TRICO on them.

I wasn't aware that any repros had TRICO on them.



I do know that '65s are polished stainless, and good originals are hard to find.

I do know that the '66s are a dull aluminum finish and were done because original owners of '65s complained about glare.

Not really reproductions, just Trico's current "version" of that wiper blade holder and blade.  As someone else mentioned, it is their "Classic" line.  They come from Trico.

Does anyone know if the arm had a part number or letters on the underside?
Thanks
