    I can't find any wiper blades from 11-13" that fit my 71 CJ5's arms. The arms have a flat tang with a single cylindrical protrusion to clip the arms onto. None of the units available at any of my local autoparts stores still use this style. There are not good enough pics on most specialty sites to see if they have the correct tang as well. What have y'all done? I kept swapping the old adapter to new units, but one of the old adapters broke. So I'm SOL now.

    What about these? Can't quite see if they are correct...

    Or swap out your wiper arms. Maybe like these...

    Unfort none of my auto parts store carry anything like the wiper I need, so replacing the entire arm seems to be the only solution. None of the wiper blades I've seen online show enough detail for me to feel they will fit the current arms. What's another $20...$40 *sigh*
