Can I switch out flat wiper arms for Jhook arms on 1986 m1009

[1 Patriot-of-many]

I go through wiper blades like crazy. I have the flat arm with the little nipple circle to catch the wiper blade assembly, first snow, ice what ever, the cheap plastic bends enough that the wiper blades turn upside down. I was thinking can I grab a a later years blazer wiper arm with the jhook to give my wiper blades more support? That little nub on the flat wiper arms has got to be the dumbest idea of 1986.

Yup!! Dorman makes a set that I've put on 4 so far. Fit good plus has the hook. I put 2 19 inch wiper blades on too. Amazon says they don't fit but they do. No more blades falling off! Wiper arms are 25 each and the blades 15 a pair. Good paint in them too.

Yes you can. You could buy new 89-91 arms that have the washer tubing on them. Amazon has them for not very much.

Does that include both arms?

Each arm is 25$. You need 2.

Are they both the same? It looks like its angled to the left, I don't see a different one for left or right side in the listing.

Junk yard, a couple bucks apiece.

The new ones have new springs to hold the blade to the window. Worth the money in my opinion.
