ANCO wiper blade removal/replacement

[62maxx]

Greetings,

how in the He** do you properly remove & replace these wiper blades? They are driving me crazy! That "red button" doesn't do anything. I thought it would release something but not. Also, who would have the correct re-fills for these?

Thanks very much!

I bought some called Trico Classics, and slipped the rubber blade out of them and into my original arms and holders for my 68. I am not sure about the 62.

Trico rubber refills were available a while ago. Just need the correct width.

Yes, the red button releases them. Anco and Trico's are different.

When I push it (even very hard) nothing releases.....

Maybe take the arm off and study it carefully?

Same problem as 62maxx. I have a 65 Belvedere that has similar wipers with the same red button. I have a set of correct wiper blades to install. When you press button it doesn’t release anything. I thought that you might have to work blade in one side then slightly bend to install other side. If this isn’t correct, then how is it done.

When you press the button you have to use a little force to get the claw portion to release from the arm. You then slide the refill into the part you took off first and then slide the rest into the other end and snap the metal claw part back in. I'm ordering Trico (part number 47-800) from NAPA to try. The claws measure about 9mm wide and the Tric refills are 8mm. Should be able to get them to work.

Pretty simple mechanism. Press the button and pull the refill towards the driver's side (towards each fender on yours!). The button pushed down drops the track lock pawls out of the way.

They work in our Charger.

I thought the old style blade refills were universal. I never had compatibility issues back in the day.

If you can't get the button to work, can you just squeeze the end clip and slide the blade out from the whole assembly?

BTW- who THE F thought wiper blades and refills needed redesigned.

What a horrible "advancement".
