ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

Ok guys been doing some research in my off time and found an alternative that requires a lil work but according to guys that are using this mod it works fantasticly!!!! Jeep Cherokee 84-95 rear wiper arms use a 1/2 inch knurled post parts number 42873 at oreillys double check me on it since my truck is far away from this yet. But two friends arm using them after mods and quite happy with the results
next:
steps one by one to make the mod
the wiper "rod" on one arm needs turned 180 degrees to match the stock on
pictures to follow of the steps

Re: ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

Re: ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

second step drill out the rivet on the arm you are to modify for the swap. You can see where I flattened out the spring mount curve with a hammer it needs to be rebent the other direction when the arm is turned

Re: ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

finished mount and grab a new off the shelf set of wiper arms 13 inch arms work but these are shorter so you may be able to use 14 inch blades as well... Going to do this for my truck when I get it there and post blade parts numbers for yall

It's my truck. 14" should work just fine. Really good upgrade to bring it to modern day reliable wipers that can be replaced every year easily now.

Thank you sdwolff98 for making this write up. I was looking all over for this exact upgrade/build. That makes everything easier for finding wiper blades and reliability. If you guys could make it a sticky I am sure other people would love it too.

Re: ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

Thank you for the tip. I just did this on my 64 today and love it. It works really well to me on mine since I do not have any stainless windshield trim/moldings. The black just fits right in.

Thanks again man.

Re: ok another answer the the eternal wiper arm thread :D

I went to the local pick a part yard last Friday because of this thread. I was able to find 2 Cherokee's that still had the rear wipers on them. $10 later I have a set to start with. Once I get some shop time, I will update my thread with my version of this swap.

Thanks for the information. I was not sure what I was going to do for wipers on my truck. Mine have been MIA for over a decade...
