Are these wipers mis-matched? Only one has the rotation adjuster.

One original and one replacement arm. Do the jeep wiper are swap. It really works good.

But does it look good?

Here's how my Jeep wiper arms look.

My opinion with them is this: If you have chrome windshield trim, go with chrome wiper arms. If you have the standard gasket, go with the Jeep arms, if you care more about having functional wipers you can rely on and easily source when you need new blades, go with the Jeep arms. I removed the aftermarket "stock" arms that didn't work well above 60 ish mph to go with the Jeep arms. No issues now with wiping away water when I'm on the interstate going around 70 ish

What year Jeep arms? Do they come in silver too?

Just Swapped mine... Much more pressure applied to the Windshield when Driving in Rain...

Wiper arms are 10.95 each at LMC - https://www.lmctruck.com/1960-66-che...per-and-washer
Truck Shop in Orange has similar prices.

I would like to know also.

Here's a good thread. You could paint the arms silver.

**cwcarpenter98** · 12-07-2020, 07:38 PM

The thread linked by bigmoe is the one I used when I did mine. 87-96 XJ Cherokees are the Jeeps of choice. 97 and up Cherokees have a larger diameter post. You need to purchase 2 rear arms, but you only need to do the flip on one of those. None of the Cherokees had chrome wiper arms, so if you want that look, you'll have to either get them chromed or paint them to look that way

I have been looking for the steel wiper arms and blades, and I think I found something I will be happy with; better than what I found at the Truck Shop. The wiper blade from the Truck Shop was too shiny, I wanted something that has that dull steel look, ike a satin finish.

The wiper arm is an ANCO 41-02; it is n adjustable length arm. The wiper blade is a TRICO 33-130 ( I picked this up on Amazon).

Not sure if this is inof that has already been posted, just thought I would share.

61_FL_Apache · 01-22-2021, 10:54 AM

I had chrome aftermarket arms on mine and no adjustments.

Is there a left and right arm for these trucks?

REDROCKER652002 · 01-22-2021, 12:01 PM

My son bought replacement arms from either Brothers or his work. The passenger side does not seat well and does not wipe the window all the way. He has not taken the truck on the freeway that I am aware of, so I am not sure how that works. So, Jeep wipers are good? I will tell him, he will probably roll his eyes and tell me to shut up. LOL.

Asshat · 10-25-2021, 03:36 PM

I still have to figure out which Jeep wiper arms to get. Is it the Jeep Cherokee? 1980’s?

It's the XJ Cherokee. Not Grand Cherokee. 87- 96 is the year range. In 97, the rear wiper arm mount became larger with a different shape arm.
If you find the arms from a junkyard, make sure there's no corrosion around the tension spring mount next to the splined part of the arm. I had one from a junkyard like that, and it ended up breaking off on me during a rare, GA snow. I didn't have time to go to the junkyard to find another, so I ordered a new arm from RockAuto. It was the passenger side arm which is not the one that needs to be flipped, thankfully

What is the part number for the 14” wiper blade? All I could find is 13”.

I used a Trico 14" blade that wasn't specific to any make or model. It was in the red Trico package. There's not really a specific part number to the blade itself. The main thing is making sure you get a blade with the correct mounting point for the arms.

Thank you!

Is that called a pin-type mount?

I'm not sure what type mount it is called. I went into the local parts store and found a blade that matched
