Windshield Wiper Cover - Cowl Screen

It feels good to be unique and different, doesn't it?

 

Not really - try finding a decent one of these!!! Even worse, you can't really roll up the Buick screen for easier/less costly shipping like you can the screens without the "ridge". You end up having to make a serious box to prevent damage as well since the box is long and flat. I sold one many years ago and had to make a freaking wooden box to protect it for shipping. Ugggh.

The cars that used the separate snap-in plastic screens seem to make the most sense.....maybe not as subtle looking as the finer mesh screen but oh-so-easy if you have to access the cowl/wiper area.

 

I know Patton, I can't tell you how many of those things I've seen torn in the boneyard. I always look for them. In the old days if the linkage messed up, people would just cut them with a razor blade. Many, many earlier A Bodys they are totally gone. Like MIA, like I don't even think people are aware they were there.

 

Thanks for the great info guys. As usual with a Stepchild-make do with what you got !

 

Just looked at mine again. The long ridge thing follows the contour of the car. There is/or seems to be a 3 x 3 inch raised area maybe 1/2 inch tall. I'll check the width, it finished on both sides. To look correct the width and mesh size would fool most all, present company excluded. Good luck.

 

Or 42" wide. Assuming mine is original.
