I did a Google search, windshield wiper wind deflector, before.  I found something similar to factory on eBay and used them before.

https://www.ebay.com/i/111598567589

I painted them flat black. To match the wipers.  There are all different types/shapes, but I didn't find anything out of metal.  All were plastic.

I would have thought Felder Industries to have an aftermarket replacement “wing” :-(

DaveB … might have to enquire with Bell Enterprises.
