Default Wiper blade upgrade

Ok, its inspection time here in va again. And like always I need new wipers. I went through this last year, nobody local has a blade that will actually wipe the whole windshield. Heck now at autozone they dont even list it in there system. I noticed that they do for 98's, not sure the difference? Is there a way to upgrade my wiper arms? I really want to get the newer style blade, but at this point I would be happy for a blade that wipes the whole area of it, instead of half to 3/4.

ok. I have a 1998. I think the wiper arms are the same. I use Bosch Icon wiper blades. I have a 24" blade on each side, and im very happy with the coverage.

Mine is a 1994 and I use 26" Rain-X Blades on both sides. They're great!

Well, I tried a rain-x blade yesterday, one of the newer style ones. It wouldnt even go on my arm. I have a michelin "stealth" blade, I was able to get in on the arm, but it missed alot, because it hit the arm. So....Z28camaro98, can you look to see which way your hooks on the end of the wiper are face. Mine have the hooks facing out from the window. I think the newer ones turn into the window. And, Chaotic94, are your rain-x blades the traditional style? I didnt see any of them here locally.

Yeah don't get the latitude blade. They don't fit. Just the regular rainx blades are awesome
