The original 15" ANCO wiper blades for my 69 Road Runner are in good shape. However, one of these retaining clips that holds the wiper to the arm is broken. Looked around and can't seem to find a service replacement for this. Anyone know of what options I have for correcting this issue?

Rob one off the replacement blade

Tried that exact thing. The ANCO "Vintage OE Replacement" is no where near close to the original.

This is really a pain because my original ANCO wiper cleaned up to almost new condition. Just the clip is bad. The only options I'm seeing at this point is find a suitable donor or pay the piper for NOS.

Looks like a simple part to make, I'd give that a try before paying the piper
