I just fitted a Trico adjustable wiper arm, part number 51-062, $15
at Advance Auto, special order, to the 109 to replace the dodgy one I
had. Appears to work fine, though it hasn't rained. The #51 adapter
(for a shaft of 15/64), drilled out with a 1/4 bit, and attached with
the two 3/32 allen head set screws, works fine. the #49 adapter --
for 1/4 inch shafts, is too loose to work, it spins on the shaft. I
fit a Trico 11" exact fit wiper, part 11-6 to it. This is a wrist
action attachment blade, the arm comes with adapters for both that
and bayonet mounted blades. The wrist action style work on the good
stock arm I had; the dodgy one was a bayonet style (trico part 11-1
works on it).
