Re: wiper refills?

After reading this thread about a week ago, I went to autozone to get a pair. Can you believe these are so hard to find? Used to be every store had these. Now they want to sell the whole dang thing for $17 dollars or some crazy price! 6.99 for refills is crazy too but that's the world we live in.

So I just asked at the counter for U-15R and they showed 2 in stock. (they of course weren't there so they ordered me a pair)

Turned out they got lost somewhere and told me they had 16's. I said sure, give me those. I just snipped off a piece on both.

P.S. they keep the refills in the back so don't bother looking for them. Also note these have a plastic back, not metal like originals. (works just as good)

Universal parts that replace the oem stainless Trico holder are not that hard to find. These are usually lack plastic, sometimes black steel. Rubber inserts to fit in the oem Trico arm are little harder. Last week I bought six sets of the rubber inserts to fit Trico arms, U-15-R, but now I see nothing comes up on the AutoZone site.
