I didn't know where to put this so here goes.
I live in Maine, it rains here. Sometimes a little, sometimes a whole lot, and most of the time with very little warning.
Can someone please recommend me a set a wiper blades. Everything I've tried either won't conform to the windshield, or only wipes on one side of the stroke or both.
Thank you for any help.

Re: Wiper blades
Have you tried bending the wiper arms in toward the windshield slightly at the bend in the arm?

Re: Wiper blades
I actually ended up buying a set of trico beam wipers from Walmart. They work pretty good.

Re: Wiper blades
Wish I knew where to get refill blades. I haven't been able to find them in years. I still have the original blade frames behind the seat because I have to use ugly black cheapo blades from Wal Mart.

Re: Wiper blades
You can buy refills from certain auto parts stores. I work for O'Reilly and I have bought the refills.

Re: Wiper blades
No one around me carries refills anymore. I think because most buyers are too stupid to know how to refill the stock arms. So I retrofitted the arms from a 96 F150 and now use stem-mounted blades.... easy to find and cheap from Walmart.
I'm in the SF Bay Area and it don't rain much around here... like January to April mostly.

Re: Wiper blades
I bought both replacement blades and the whole wiper assembly on amazon new from trico. the blades were around $5 and the whole assembly was 11 or 14.
