NAPA Wiper blades

Good Morning and Happy Memorial Day.
Just wondering if anyone has used these wiper blades from NAPA and your experiences. They are very close to original but they wont stay on my arms. The nipple on the arm isnt high enough to go into the hole.
Any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks

Re: NAPA Wiper blades

I have had the same issue with mine. The only way I kept mine secure was to use a small black tie wrap to keep it tight.

I just recently change my arms out based off of this thread.

I am very happy with how everything looks and works now.

Thanks Palf70step. I was thinking of doing that or bolting it on with a small bolt. Will check out the Jeep arms as well

Re: NAPA Wiper blades

I've been using Napa 13" blades, I believe it's part nmber NB-13. It's the only blade I could find that came with an adapter for our 5mm bayonets.

Not my listing: https://www.ebay.com/p/napa-nb13/133...d=262003909650

i too am using the NB-13's with their included adapter with no issues. keep in mind it comes with 2 adapters so make sure you're using the correct one.

Re: NAPA Wiper blades

Thanks everyone. I never thought about NAPA for blades. Nobody else carries a 13" refill.
