4th gen wipers?

what are the rest of you doing for replacement wiper blades?

I can't seem to buy just inserts anymore, and I can't seem to find blades that fit (look on amazon or summit, they're listing "no matching applications", and most at the parts store just say 24" and then the package says "fits 98%" but there is no way to install them).

I'll take a good source for replacement inserts (my passenger side one is falling apart), but really, I'd like to get new blades since my original 14y/o blades are starting to get kind of beat...

I found replacements for mine at CarQuest. I know you have them in MD, give them a try.. they even had mine in stock.

You definitely gotta get the right fastener type on the replacement blades, and I know it's a rare type.

I found the inserts at O'Reillys. They keep them behind the counter, so they won't be on the sales floor. Check O'Reillys site for the inserts and the nearest store near you.

Re: 4th gen wipers?

No O'Reilys near me... They list CarQuest, but I swear that there aren't autoparts stores where they show them... I'll drive by 2 of the 3 listed in the area on the way home from work today and check.

Any idea what brand/model replacements you bought that worked? like I said, I don't want to do inserts unless i have no other choice, and noone seems to stock them anymore anyway... (the last 2 places that I asked told me that they got rid of their stock close to a year ago and will not replace it... too many people returning them that can't figure out how to replace them in the blade)

Re: 4th gen wipers?

I just bought a set of Trico Inserts 24-N's. Ive been running Trico blades for years and donot have a single negative thing to say about them.

The full blade Trico number is 24N-9R

If you get wiper arms from a ls1 car, you don't have to worry about finding the right blades.
