I am new here......
I have ordered Assembly Manual but in the mean time thought I could ask some questions:)
Are the Trico wiper arms Satin or Chrome?
Are the Blades 15" ?

Thanks for the help.

The arms are stainless, and are more satin than shinny. Note that just because they are trico does not make them correct for Camaro. I have about 4-5 sets that are very similar, but not exactly the same. The shape of the hub, the shape of the stamping, the shape of the spring cover, and location of the rivets varies. I don't know which is correct, I just matched the ones I got in a box with my car, under the assumption that they were original to the car.

Had the same problem with the blades. They were all similar and would all interchange, but not the same. The shape of the small arms on the blades differed.

I think some first gens got anco wipers....I'm thinking it was some Van Nuys cars, but I'm not certain.

Blades were 15".

68 and on had the satin type. This was an attempt to prevent glare.
