Hi all - can't seem to figure our what wiper blades I need to replace the old ones. I have tried CCOT and SOR and don't see it listed.

I did get a replacement, but it doesn't look correct - see pictures.

the top picture is what I have now...
the bottom is what I got from SOR

Anyone no a source the wipers I need?

Pretty sure your bottom pic is the correct and someone adapted the end doo-hickey on the top to fit non stock wipers...you should have a lil hook attached instead of that big thing. least thats how my 69 is.
 
I always use Bosch wiper blades. Each set comes with a box of 5 sets adapters called "quick clips".
Pick the right adapter, push it on the wiper blade and slide it over the flat end of your wiper arm. Ready in minutes.

It takes more time to get the old ones off.

What is the length of the stock blade on a 76?

The book said 15 in at the parts store, but the blade then overlaps the windshield frame. I had a 13 on there.
Just did this a couple days ago.
 
I actually think its only 10" on my 77. I had an 11" blade one time that would hit the windshield gasket at the top of the swing, bent the end of the blade until I got the right ones.

My blades are 11" on '74.

Rudi,
What Bosch are you buying? I looked at my local AutoParts store and they don't have model with such connectors.

Alex, here are some pics from Bosch wiper blades.
In the yellow top of the box is a little box with (2x) 5 adapters, see last pic.

This is how it works. Select the adapter for your wiper arm.
Click it on the blade and hook it up to your wiper arm.

Those are not available in Canada. :(
Do you have a model and part number. May be I can find it on the web and order.

Hi Alex, I just visited Bosch Canada: Bosch - Wiper Blades and Bosch - ICON? and there seems to be 2 models available for Land Cruisers.
I picked 1978 for my Cruiser and these show up:
Micro Edge 40711 14.00 CAD
Direct Connect 40511 9.93 CAD

Hope this helps.
 
Keep the thumbscrew and the hook that it holds to the arm and get rid of everything after that. The hook then slides into the slot on the wiper blade that you got. The old blade assy should slide off the hook.
