Maintaining factory wiper blades

[hirtlejoshua]

I just found this information useful when I finally replaced my 32 year old wiper blades. I ordered a pair of GM# 15184702 and found they were two inches shorted than my original blades. I'm not sure why the genuine part is so different but I ended up ordering a pack of 10 ACDelco 8-5800 wiper refills. They worked in the original blades just fine and I was able to retain the much larger 20" wipers. Pictures for reference. Hopefully this helps you keep the longer wipers.

Where did you order the refills from ? I still have the original wipers after replacing them with units from Mid America . I think the Mid America replacements are shorter also .
