Title: Windshield wipers
Post by: Dale Soule on October 20, 2022, 05:07:29 PM

We have a 2006 Beaver Monteray with 28" wipers.  Does anyone know what part number Good Year or Michelin number works.  We haven't changed blades since we have owned the M/H There where new Good Years (770-28) in the bays when we purchased it, This will probably  be the kiss of death for the old wipers.

Thank you for responding.  What you sent looks a lot like I have.  Do you take out the short bolt with locking nut in order to replace blade.?

That's the trick; its called a 'saddle mount'. My wipers made a loud bang in use, I thought they were hitting the windshield gasket. But a sharp-eyed Beaver here said I might need shorter wipers. I tried that (26 in maybe) and that solved my problem.

We have 28" there working fine just 8 yrs. old,  just want to replace before we go on the road again.

After our driver's side wiper broke in a sudden blizzard going over Mt. Hood to Bend in 2012, BCS replaced both with updated versions.  They no longer made the factory installed ones. 

The factory wipers were supposedly from a company Monaco temporarily contracted with when their normal AM Equipment affiliation stopped.  The temp wipers proved not to be the best.  So we got both new arms and blades.  They are more bow shaped and stay closer to the glass overall, called "Boomerangs", recommended by then service advisor Ken Carpenter.   I think they are the same as what's called "Frameless" now.https://www.amequipment.com/shop/frameless-wiper-blades

The numbers on the repair statement likely reflect BCS's parts numbers, and may not be immediately helpful, but worth a shot.   

"Arm Wiper 29 WET"  part #352-0125

"Blade 28I BOOMA" (short for Boomerang)  part #23-6343

I purchased these wiper arms springs to keep some tension on the blades. Work well for me.

I can’t say if they will work or if they go to 28”, but Michelin blades are like 7 bucks on sale at Costco now.
