    I need to get a pair of new recessed wiper blade arms for my 70 A Body. Are there any brands that are better than others? I have heard the Goodmark brand is not so good as far as fitment but it seems that brand is advertised everywhere. Any other brands I should look at?

    Thanks Larry,

    Unfortunately those were made by Goodmark. I actually ordered ones from the "Muscle Factory" direct after a few members PM'd me. Hope they are good quality.

    What exactly is wrong with the Goodmark arms? Inquiring minds want to know.

    In many cases the drivers side of the Goodmark replacement arms were the wrong length and the geometry was off. I was referred to reviews on the Summit site and others. NPD actually referred me to the Muscle Factory brand which is what they sell. Neither is cheap but I would rather spend a little more and hopefully get an exact repo. I saved my old ones for comparison so I can check before install. I also bought the correct tool to remove and install the arms to avoid damage to the paint.
