RE: Wipers

[v8magic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I believe the trico blade number is 37. They have a line of "classic" 
steel wiper blades. Check ebay Item number: 110206030218. Napa sells 
them, but they may need to order them for you.

Auto parts guys generally prefer that you know the refill part number 
you need. The wiper refill listings give vague guidance because there 
are several different blade types available for a given car and most 
customers have no idea what they need and can supply only the type of 
car they have. Translation: a royal pain in the butt. Also, most people 
tend to buy wipers on the same day as everyone else in town, usually a 
day when it is raining and few parts guys want to spend their day 
standing in the rain doing some idiot's wipers. Remember, too, that the 
frame portion of the blade gradually loses it's ability to hold a wiper 
flat to the windshield and should be replaced fairly often. 

I have purchased 16" refills at walmart. Look for the cheap ones.

My current set of blades involves a conversion arm (available at 
Napa)and a common set of modern trico blades. I like the teflon ones 
because they move more smoothly on a semi-dry windshield and they tend 
to hold up better/longer. They were the best that I found while living 
in Oregon/Washington. Lots of snow and lots of rain.

I drive my car daily in all kinds of weather and I prefer blades that 
work well and I don't care if my wipers are "incorrect". I like to see 
where I am going. Same is true of headlight bulbs. Mine have been 
halogen from day one.
