Wiper Blade Inserts

[Jack T]

Hello folks.

I need to replace the wiper blades on my '70 and I want to retain the original assembly. Is it possible to just change out the inserts and where is the best place to buy inserts?

I thought I read a thread a while back where someone posted the part number but could not find it via the search.

Thanks.

Jack, Try MSA. (www.zcarparts.com) That's where I got mine and they are stock Datsun/Nissan part # B889A-45100NW.

Cheers, Mike

I bought mine direct from my Nissan dealer. No shipping, and the price was no more than MSA, maybe less.

I bought some from courtesy nissan awhile back and they still had plenty in stock and if I remember were cheaper than MSA. IMHO may as well get dealer blades. Ill dig up the part numbers when I get home.

The part numbers I wrote down the other day from a post on here was: Wiper Blades B6370-E4100.

Part numbers Bonzi Lon stated are correct you need to order 2 as they do not come as a pair.

One note, if you replace just the actual blades with a silicone variety they will not scratch your windshield as the rubber/OEM variety will, because the blades will not get hard from exposure.

If you keep the rubber blades, wipe then down both sides when you fill up with gas and when you wash the car to keep sand and grit from the road from embedding into them-and scratching the windshield the next time your use them.
