Need wiper blade refills for a 1963 Dodge Dart.

I've tried the refills that can be obtained at NAPA, Checker Auto Parts and Auto Zone. The 13" refills are a little short and don't fit very well.

The factory parts manual says the number is 23-67-25 for the refill and 23-67-5 for the arm and blade.

Anyone have a source for either the refill or or whole works?

TIA

The 13" refills at Pep Boys (Rally) fit my 64 fine.

The metal part is exactly 13" long.

No, those are part type code identifiers — 23 (body) 67 (wipers) 25 (refill). Same identifier for all Chrysler cars. You have to then page through Section 23 of the FPC to find the actual 7-digit part number for your particular kind of car under that type code identifier. But it doesn't matter in this case; Chrysler quit supplying those parts many, many years ago.

It looks like Anco are suggesting their #N13R refill for this application. That's an all-plastic refill from the masters of cheapening and crappification at Federal-Mogul, and I have to think it's probably too narrow. Trico #43-130 looks much more promising; it's a metal-spine 13" refill of apparently correct width with a spring-lock retainer at one end.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

have they put our longer wiper blades in the crosshairs yet?

Dan,

You're right about the part number. You'd think I would know this by now!

The blade refill number is 2291909.

The arm and blade number is 2426814.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have resorted to just getting a metal refill and taking the rubber out of it and re-using the metal strip I had. You can get longer ones and trim them to fit.

Even if you have the right part number, they never seem to have them in stock.

When I make it up to Oregon or Washington I try to stock up for our older cars. The parts stores up there usually seem to have the good refills for older cars.

They show up once in a while on EBay, that's where I got mine.
Good luck.

I use standard 15" Anco replacements. The 13" one's are way to small for my liking.

You're right: the 15" will work, but I'm trying to keep my '63 Dart GT hardtop as stock as possible.

Thanks,
