Who makes the best reproduction wiper blade assemblies?

Pictures on how they compare to OEM would be good to see as well.

Not sure what ones are the best, but I've been using the ones Dave sells.  They have a good factory look.

Has anyone else found anything better?

I've been using those on my restorations too...

When I did the Barrelcuda I used only correct NOS stuff....I think I had like $1200 into my wiper arms/blades :o :'( :crazytalk:

$1,200?  Seriously  :o  I need to make a fainting smiley because that's what I about did when I saw the $1,200 number!

I recall the originals had a little red button sticking up.

Looks like Dave will get another call from me.

I haven't found any wipers that I like so far.

I thought they had black buttons...at least I hope so...cause I bought a set of Anco 3-piece blades several years ago.

Cuda Cody

Not sure if they have a black dot or not, but wanted to use the Fainting smiley for the $1,200 NOS set up.   :Thud:  That's a tough bill to swallow.

Red or dark grey buttons is still up for debate.... :alan2cents:

  I remember red buttons from back in the day. Growing up in Miami, and working for Sears Auto Center and JCPenney Auto Centers I had to go out in the rain and install new blades every time it rained. PITA.  Don't think bout them till you need em item.   :bricks:
