    both probably have them. go in and ask the guy at the counter for the correct blades. if you can, take the old blade along to match up with the new one to make sure that you are getting the taller blade.

      While you are at it it is well worth the trouble to apply a coat of Rain-X. Now that car washing season is slowing down you can really get your money's worth out of an application. I lived in WA state for a year when my '70 Vette had malfunctioning vacuum lines for the wipers and Rain-X saved my bacon a couple times. I have it on my side windows/mirrors as well.

        I recommend only Bosch wipers for these cars, size = 24"

          I went to Advanced Auto and picked up one of these , they only had 1 in stock. Well anyway, it didnt work, the blade continued to pull away from the glass in its motion. Plus the little clip snapped on me right away. I dunno...

            Hrm, I always just go to the dealership and get the rubber blade refils.

            So you're replacing not only the blade frame (that holds the rubber part) but actually the entire arm? What can go wrong with the arm?

              No I did not replacing the arm, I replaced the blade.

              This is an arm

              This is a blade

              and this is a refill

                Sorry 95, I didn't mean "you're" as in you specifically. There were other posts above yours where they talked about replacing arms.

                Aside from some of the black paint wearing off the blade my originals are still working fine. I just have to replace the rubber every couple of years. Oh and the last time I did the refills I took the blades off and shot them with a spray can of flat black to cover the shiny spots.

                  Well I bent the arm a bit and it got better. I need to order new arms soon. Or Rain-X.

                    Rain-X is the $hit! It is the only automotive chemical I recommend to friends.At speed you don't need wipers!But stay with the factory metal blades/refill holders.The plastic ones didn't work for me or my sister.
