Hum, order from the states again, I don't think so, 18 days and still no
door handle from one place, and day 31 yesterday, I got 1/2 my order to do
my tranny addaptor swap from another place. With times like that I will
never order from the states again.

Remove one of them, go into Canadian Tire and ask if you can compare the
original with what they have in stock.. Canadian Tire's application guide
doesn't give a rear blade type for the early GC's.. NA according to the
book.. and they don't have wiper arms short enough to replace the rather
stiff thing on the back of mine.. so I looked at the spring things that they
sell and it was not immediately obvious which to use.. the package suggested
that a glimpse at the application guide would reveal all.. this assumes the
presence of an application guide.. I asked the guy at the counter, and that
is when I found out that they know more than they appear to.. he looked at
the computer and told me which to use.. no problem, it worked well.. there
are some in these parts that affectionately refer to Canadian Tire as
'Crappy Tire'.. I am one of them..

In fairness, they are not as bad as some.. I heard of somebody who went to a
breakers yard to look for replacement wheels for a BMW 318i.. the gorilla
there told him that he had some 13" wheels that would fit.. best part is
that he believed it.. needless to say that the 13" wheels would not fit
where 14" had been previously, and the gorilla would not take them back.. I
doubt that even Crappy Tire personnel would be that stupid.. lol..

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't these just plain old 18" Ansco type clip-on
blades?
