Just curious where people get there windshield wipers at? Mine are trashed and I don't think I've seen that style since before 1999. lol. I'm polishing up the window trim and getting ready to buff out the old wipers and am in desperate need of some wiper blades. :)

The blades themselves are designed to be replaced, periodically, maybe even annually. I've never had much difficulty finding replacement blades at my local automotive parts store chains, such as Kragen, Autozone, OReilly and Napa Auto Parts.
The size is 16-inch, and even the parts book mentions the Trico Type, and is still available today. You can even go premium with Bosch and other brands.
Last time I bought any was in 2017 (I think) from Mega Parts. I found the frame to be a bit shinier than my originals so I just used the rubber blade from those. If any one knows of a source for just the refills (rubber) please LMK.

PS: Never mind, found these as refills, scroll down to VEHICLE FITMENT.

never replaced mine.... I keep her out of the rain :haha:
I'm sure you guys know but keep the original style if you can and just replace the rubber blade if you have the originals. Most of the replacement blade assemblies are too tall and will interfere with the back of the hood.

My second link in Post 3 has the refills.
Awesome, thanks. That would be good if I can get the blade refill only. Hmmmm shinnier than original? I may have to look into that as well instead of spending time cleaning the old oxidized frames.
@tparker Here's a comparison of originals vs my aftermarket ones (no idea if they've changed from 2017). It's cloudy here for these pics but in sunlight the reflection off the "shinier" one would obviously be more prominent. Click on the pics.
Awesome, thanks. I will check those out. Mine are in decent shape and probably just need the refill rubber. But they are pretty oxidized. I'm working on buffing them to see how they come out. Maybe better to just get new frames.
