Replacement Wipers

[dlovitt]

Does anyone know of a source (other than Monaco) for wiper replacements for a 2009 Monaco Executive Olympus IV?

AutoZone, Oreilley's, Advance, etc.

Just take in your old one and they will have a match for it, then just pick how much you want to pay. a wiper is still a wiper, its just bigger than the 13" on your toad...

if i'm wrong, i apologize here, but 99% of the time they are all universal

There is lots of discussion if you search "wiper blades" here. I am leaning toward the 28" when next replacement of the 32" is required. In certain winds our 32 inchers get "light" and miss some areas which may not happen with the 28".

Have tried NAPA, etc. My Coach wipers have an unusually thick "saddle". It's much thicker than the automotive types.

I buy mine at autozone or Walmart. Take a look at where your blade frame connects to the arm, if it's held with a nut and bolt the hole in the new blade frame may fit your mh arm.

I replaced my whole blade assembly with Rainex Lattitude premium, work so well, reveals a concave area in my windshield, that the stock blades didn't.

Finally gave up and ordered the blades from Monaco. A little over $100 with shipping.

This is what I had our RV mechanic put on. $40 for the pair installed for the 28" blades which are actually about 27.5" in length.

Dont know what was meant by 'thicker saddle', but I bet you they were like my Audi's and there is an adapter...

[SCVJeff]

I bought a nice set at AutoZone and found out there was a rivet spanning the "hook-in" area that didn't allow me to mount the hook off the vehicle arm into the wiper properly. There was zero difference between the Winne blades and these except for this rivet, so I Dremel'ed it out and can now use any stock blade.

Just hope you never need to replace an arm. One of mine the knurled socket part of the arm that fits over the wiper shaft stripped out. I've been looking everywhere, and I mean everywhere (including Monaco) to no avail. The company Monaco used to get these assemblies are no longer carrying them either. The whole wiper assembly, arms, etc. are made by Dyna and apparently their no longer making these arms.

You guys need to try out junk yards that have newer trucks...

[BudtheDiplomat]

You might try here: AM Equipment - Manufacturer of | OEM Windshield Wiper Systems, Wiper Arms, and Wiper Accessories | Fractional Horsepower Motors | Wiper Motors, Window Lift Motors, Gearhead Motors.

This is who makes your wipers. Order through their Contact section.

I went to my local NAPA store here in town and I got those heavy duty wiper blades (bus type). They cost me about $86.00 but they work well and have multiple mounting adapters in the case. I expect that the adapters, bolts and such add to the price of the product but my wipers are on and they not only work well they look like they belong there.

Right now the arms are sitting up on tennis balls.
