Question Newer Style Replacement Wiper Blades?

My question may be too NEW for most of you vintage/classic guys/gals!! LOL



I just wondering if anyone has put those newer frameless, euro, flat, beam blade wipers on a circa 90's Olds? Do they fit? How do they perform? How do they look? I upgraded my 07 Mazda 3 to trico neoform beam blades and they work awesome but this vehicle is newer and the windshield is pretty curved. I'm wondering if/how they work on an older Olds with a flatter windshield??

Don't know either, use them on my daily driver with the curved windshield but on my classics I use the OEM style. Welcome to CO.

The auto parts store should have information on whether or not the wiper blades fit your application. As far as how good they will look that is a matter of personal preference. My experience with wiper blades is that they all work well in proportion to how new they are and how clean the windshield is.

Wink Thanks so far...

Yeah, the books list them. I'm just looking for "field test" feedback I guess in addition. Thanks so far!!

I have them on my truck and the windshield is not really curvy and they work good. I think that if you plan on using it out in the rain then go for the newer style , if you have to have the older style for showing the car then they are not hard to change. i would think those new ones work good even if the windshiel is not real curvy.
