Good Day All,
I am having a hard time finding the rest of my wipers....I have the arms (see pic) and the blades with the metal "fingers" that hold the blade in place. Is there a third part that fits between both pieces?? Any ideas where I can get the last pieces....or does someone have two complete sets for sale?

your blade should slide onto that and snap in..dusters have a 12 inch blade..

Ok, I think I figured out what you mean. You did not buy the ones with the built on clip for spade style arm, but you have the type that you need to use the included snap on clip that corresponds to a spade type arm ( should have come with it ), but I assume that it didn't. I would return them and get a different brand.
 
Great pics...that really helps....the arms came with the car. I purchased the blades from a nice old retired vendor who has got to be the worst parts person I have ever dealt with, just functionally out to lunch, helluva nice old guy though. So be it...I cannot return the blades (it took most of the summer to get them sent to the right address) so I am trying to figure out what to do. The "Anco" after market blades to not work, they appear incompatible (that was my first solution) with the tabbed ends of the Duster arms, they slip over the arms but do not tab in....sad really. That would have been such a nice solution to get new wipers and the old look. The arms with the circular adjustment pads are exactly like my '72 Nova. Identical in fact, so that may be a solution...just swap the whole mess out with new retro arms and blades. I will check "Jims Auto Parts".....the link you sent.

Thanks again for the help.

If anyone has a set of complete wipers out there for a 1972 Duster....I am interested and have cash!!
 
Shop around for the best price, I used the trico Classic wiper blade 33-150, as it has the old style look with a metal frame
