Someone is inquiring about a 1956 Cadillac wiper guide I have that he might use on his 1957. Do they interchange?
Thanks anyone for your guidance.

chuck,

If you are inquiring about the wiper arms ??? 1956 can be used on '55 but not the other way '55->'56 and 57-58 are the same per the MPL.

Good luck..!

Hey Jose!
Not the wiper arms themselves but I was asking about the half moon tapered guide at the pivot points. Would those stainless pieces be the same for either years 1956 and 1957's?
Still doesn't seem to be much of a spring here yet. Had a frost warning yesterday and it's been raining here like Noah's time. Hope you're warmer and sunnier!

Chuck,

Well we already had to build our ark around here..!   :o

Ok was not sure which piece;  ;) for the transmission escutcheon which the wiper arms rides following the windshield contour sorry to say but the answer is no go..! The MPL list them as different parts.  :(
