Voyager 530 wiper blades

Post by Cpasquin »

My wiper blades are shot. They are 26 inches, saddle mount and must not be wider than .475 inches or 12mm. I can find 1/2 inch but I would have to grind the difference off. Any idea where I can find these rare Carver parts.

Try Imtra in the States, they supplied Carver with some of their large wiper hardware.

I phoned Imtra 2 days ago because they had 1/2 / 12mm in their catalog. This was found to be a mistake, as they measured it and it was .53 in. Yesterday I found at Napa one that has a converter to reduce .53 to .47. Not stainless, but they will do for now. Did not install yet, but I hope the reducer does not create a problem.

You may find some trucks and buses have wipers about like those....that is what Carver et al probably sourced in the first place, my guess. Lets face it, they don't really need to be exactly the same size so long as they wipe where you are looking thru.....worth a shot, I went thru the same thing, just cobbled up an arm from napa etc.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Worked fine with Napa # 6-2656 when used the reducer to fit the narrower Carver saddle which it refers to “Anco” bought by Trico.
