What would be the original type and brand of wiper blades for an 86 GT? My car is all original with 32K miles and has "Tridon" on the ends of the blades, are these original? Thanks!!

Yes, the correct blades are Tridon and 16" long (there should be a "16" near the Tridon name).
According to the '86 Ford Parts Manual; the blades (refill) are part number D9OZ-17593-A, the blade assy is part number E3DZ-17528-B. I purchased several of these a few years ago through the usual sources, but I see them on eBay frequently as well.

I have the original wipers on my 86. They a ripped and hanging. You mean to tell me I can still buy the original parts. Oh boy. Guess what I am looking for. My car is 100% original, including the air in the tires. 26,000 miles.

Thanks bluemax, that is good news for me! I do see a "16" near the Tridon name, and the blades are in really good condition. I recently bought the car and did not know if the blades were replacements.
Wait....you mean the wipers actually work on these cars? Would have never known
