Default Stupid question here, but wiper blades?

I've been to 3 different auto parts stores and they don't even show a size, I know the blade is 24" but apparently the reverse J-hook is a major deal. I've tried like 3 different adapters that we have at my work (peterbilt) and nothing will hold it into the arm properly and the dealer wants $15 a blade. Anyone have any luck with a specific brand or anything, I'm in need of wipers

Spring for the dealer blades, and next time just change the rubber. Otherwise, if you still have the old blades, just replace the rubber.

Well o'reilys has the trico which is the only people besides the dealer to say they have the blade, so I'm gonna take a gamble and see what happens

if its a 93-97 car just source some 98-02 wiper arms, then you can buy normal blades and not ones for reverse hooks

Trico Flex works fine on my 93. I didn't have to buy any special ones.

Trico 24-9R was the best choice for me. I have an all stock 97 and wasn't too keen on the idea of changing out the entire wiper arm assembly. Bought the Trico's for 11 bucks each on Amazon and they snapped on in about 1-2 minutes. It took longer for me to open the package and figure out how to remove the old blades first!

Worst case, you could always look at replacing the rubber on the current set of blades you have now. Kind of the ghetto way to go about it, but you'll be able to see!
