Hi Guys,
I need some guidance . I called Grady who then directed me to a company called Wexsco who then directed me to a company called Autotex Wipers. Turns out in my model year (08) that they only used these blades and arms for a short period of time.

I don't know where I can find inserts for the blades. They are not ANCO . I need to go to the boat and take a photo of the blade and arm. Could I find a blade assembly and attach it to the arm? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Heading to the Keys on the 10th and would like wipers to work. Thanks.

At this point take a pic and we will help you.

If it's in the big city, I'll pick it up and overnight it to you.

Rain x works amazing. A quick application and you don’t need the wipers. I removed mine and apply before I head out. Actually works better than the wipers.

Replacing the arm was no biggy when I did it. But I don't remember the arm and blade that I used and I don't have the boat here to take a look.

Good call on the isenglass. I spray it on a dry paper towel and apply it that way so I don’t get it on the isenglass.

I never use wipers either , Rain-x works for me , I apply every few weeks , a bit on the rug apply , leave a few seconds so it goes hazy then rub off. Much better than wipers .
I came across this many years ago in New Zealand.

Smoky , I'm sure you should be able to use ANCO to screw on your arms, otherwise take a rubber off and go to a auto shop, you should be able to find one that matches.

On my 2007 330 the wiper blade refill is NAPA 60-2098. Perfect fit no modification necessary. Not the highest quality, but ...
