All done and just as it started to rain
One of the problems was that the auto wipers were too wide. Sooooo I very carefully, with two sets of different pliers, bent the tabs wider. I tried very hard to make the area with the holes as parallel to the blade sides as possible and to put as little stress on the arms while bending the tabs.
Once they were widened I used 10/24 x 1 1/4” stainless machine screws and nylock nuts. The bolts are about an 1/8 too long but 1” didn’t leave enough threads in the nut too lock correctly. And, too lazy to cut them off.
Before installing them I degreased and spray painted the bolts and nuts black. Overall, A very easy install.
The wiper blades are “peak hybrid. PHV261”. The thing that makes them work is the holes going through. Finally, one of the shouldered original bolts had to be cut off and one came off with little effort.
