Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ Anco brand has released a new series of conventional wiper blades for light vehicles. Known collectively as Anco’s 97-Series wipers, these premium blades offer complete conventional coverage across 97 % of vehicles in operation (VIO) in North America, in a size range from 12″ – 22″, 24″, 26″ and 28″.
Each wiper is manufactured with Duraklear Plus, an exclusive, advanced rubber compound to provide consistent, streak-free performance, maintainable at highway speeds.
These wipers are also outfitted with Redi-Fit connection system that eliminates the use of loose-pack connectors for fast, easy installation. Each blade uses a patented link construction method with polymer bearing surfaces, eliminating metal-to-metal abrasion and improving rotational performance to improve blade-to-windshield contact.
Equipped with four layers of corrosion protection – galvanized steel, phosphate coating, E-coat dip paint process and final gloss top coat – these blades resist rust in the most adverse driving conditions. In addition, bridges are formed from high-strength low alloy (HSLA) material for increased strength and durability.
