[Michael C Henry]

I went to Brooklands British Cars here in Tacoma. He, the counter guy, identified it as the spoon type and He had 8" and 9" blades on the peg board. He Only one 8" but he had three 9" Blades . One 9" blade package had cardboard inside plastic package "TEX CLASSIC" a silver Label in package" B00309 wiper blade Viewmaster range spoon type". A Small stick on label on the clear package said "GWB145 wiper blade". The TEX stuff is made in England. Then he had two packages that said "made in CHINA". I bought the one TEX and one made in CHINA 9" blades. The China wasn't as heavy as the TEX. The bracket that the arm spoon tip went into to connect with on the China blade was loose. It was attached by six tabs on the bracket and six small slots in the blade frame same as TEX. The China blade bracket wasn't as heavy material and the tabs weren't bent over as well as the TEX blade was. I think there is a big difference between 9" TEX made in England and the made in China wiper blades. Brooklands accepted my made in China wiper blade return and offered to reorder but said they had no control whether he'd get another TEX or made in CHINA. For my self, there is a big difference. SO I'm NOT DONE YET.
