I'll get the part # when I get back to the house tonight. They fit well, except in one place. The passenger side bottom corner curves in sharp at the base of the windshield. Right there the tip of the blade lifts off the glass, but turn them on and you'd never know. For $13.63 I'm satisfied. But I'll try the trico's next time

I got a pair of 24" Rain-X from Walmart the other day for ~$18 (both). The thing is, you have to change out the installed adapter with the "other" one in the package since it is larger. I live in FL, so wipers are a must!

I tried that but the clip was still to small and the flopped around. If you look, in the book at wallmart they don't carry them for this car... Our J-hooks are upside down so the need a special fitting. If they made rainx latitudes for this car I'd be all over it...

I know this sounds weird, but did you try flipping the connector upside down? I have a '93 Camaro, but swapped the wiper arms with a '96 set and the Rain-X fit snugly. I'll see if I can take some pics of them installed.

O-Reilly's has the exact ones here, cheap work great with no adaptors to fool with.

Do you have the O'Reilly's part number handy? I only have a Napa and CarQuest in my town, and neither has anything in stock (small town). But, I do go to another town with an O'Reilly's on a regular basis and would like to check there.

Yea i tried, take some pics and show me what you have going on...Im confused as to how that worked because when I did it not only could i not get the blade over the head of the wiper arm, but the upside down clip was a quarter of an inch to thin to clip on.

I ran into this issue as well. I even get a rain x blade from walmart to work...kind of. If the hook was slightly smaller it would work beautifully but there is a spot where the blade lifts off as it sits right now.
