Re: wiper blade refills

Hey guys, check these out:

https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c...ill/tri0/47700

only $10/ea. Says they’ll fit my ‘72 C10. They break-to-fit length.

Anyone tried these? They showed as refills below the 33-150s…

Thanks also for this thread. I've subscribed to it as I will need to go over it again shortly.

I didn't find replacement blades locally, only blade+bow types so I bought some material off the river, and it went on great.
Great thread, but what did you mean when you said you bought the material "off the river?"

Amazon...looks to be the same as the link in post #4.

That's probably what I'm gonna do.

Re: wiper blade refills

Good to save at least one set of frames in case you get stuck like I did, but the problem does seem to be less prevalent than I thought

Re: wiper blade refills

This is good to know. In the past, if I couldn't get 15'' refils, I bought longer ones and cut them off with a cable cutter. Sometimes the 16'' will work on on one side. Can't remember which. Driver's side I think. You don't wanna scrape the Winsshield frame.
