Question Who makes this wiper blade?

I have a pair of winter wiper blades on my truck, the red caps on the ends of the blade say "Anco" on them. One of the caps fell off and I would like to contact the company for a replacement because the blade pulls out really easily and im affraid it'll fly out of the rubber when I need it. My question is... what company makes those wiper blades? I think I bought them at Autozone. I did a search for Anco but came up empty handed. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Why not buy some new ones? I had some Anco's on my work car and they sucked. They always chattered. When they didn't chatter (rarely) they would do a good job. I finally went to Wal-Mart and bought some Michelin blades. They were $6 and change a piece.

I knew I couldnt buy the caps, but do you think I can exchange it where I bought it originally, for a new one since it "malfunctioned?" I think I got it at Autozone, and of course I threw out the reciept.

i put these on my truck in September. they work great even at highway speed. i think they will also clear the snow (if we ever get any) because they don't have the metal pieces to freeze up.

The only things I buy at autozone are anco blades. There was a 75% off sale before Christmas and picked up about 20 sets.

i just bought a set of anco blades to replace my worn out motorcrafts. motorcrafts were awesome. the ancos are nice below 50mph but get on interstate with them and they chatter and suck. got mine from wal-mart.

I took them back to Autozone where I think I bought them, he let me exchange them since they were damaged. He even put it on for me.

good deal. ive always gotten good service from autozone. i went to advance one time for an alternator for my ranger. they checked the 4.0L stock and they were out. i went to autozone and they checked the 4.0L stock, that was out too but the guy said he thought the 3 and 4L alternators were the same. sure enough and those were in stock.

when i went for an ac pulley for the 150 the guy pulled up the list and saw the price and it included stuff i didnt need so he recommended i go to another parts store that wasnt even an autozone.
