I finally got both blades off — no corrosion but a lot of scuffed plastic (possibly from regular use).

It was a LOT of work wiggling those things off. Pressing the tab did nothing to loosen the...

Thanks, the old blades and new blades look exactly the same and are the same spec as Porsche says to use. I'm wondering if it's possible for the metal on J-hook to corrode slightly over 32 years...

Thanks for all the help, here’s my update.

Wayne, Hopefully I’m being more open minded than the headlamp switch customer.

Thanks Pelicans for the advice. I am going to clean up straps today and also order some new ones -- what I have looks "vintage."

I wonder if I could get that much for my Targa. . . of course I'd have to clean out all the legos, "I can read" books, etc.

I'll probably will hold on to it; too much fun dropping kids at school.
