George,

If all you need to replace is the rubber portion of the wiper, any competent
auto parts store can not only provide you with a wiper "Refill" as they are
properly termed but usually they are glad to show you how to replace them.
If you need new wiper "Blades" (both the rubber and its carrier) they can
also supply you with a replacement blade that will fit the stock Pantera
wiper "Arm".  ANCO makes the type of blade that I converted to.  If you need
a whole new wiper "Arm", I suggest you contact one of the Pantera parts
suppliers that advertise in Pantera International and POCA as this part is
Pantera specific.  Maybe someone else on the forum knows what other cars use
the same Pantera wiper "Arm".

Subject:	Windshield wipers

My wife tends to think windshield wipers are important at least on her
side of the car (go figure)??? I Rain X my windshield so it wouldn't
bother me but you know wives. I went through the archives and did not
find anything. I need to know if these parts are Pantera "unique" or
does anyone know about a substitute application (Yugo) etc. If there is
no substitute has anyone replaced theirs recently and would be kind
enough to share a manufacturers name and part number so I could go to
Pep Boys etc. and get a pair. Many thanks and I'm sure my wife thanks
you too. GEORGE
