In fact a great idea! AFAIK my Z came with the factory wipers. I'll check this! Thanks for the inspiration.

Occasionally, Rock Auto has them on sale for as little as $1.39 each!
Last time I bought 12 of them! Some are branded Anco, others NAPA,
same blade though. Exactly the same as the originals.
Probably won't need new blades for a few years?
I'm sure they're old stock but a quick wipe with silicone fixes that.

Buying the refills...no problem. As a matter of fact, they will allow more clearance than the originals. It's the 'holders' that cause the issues.

I bought several sets from RA a couple of years ago. Wipers don?t wear much when u don?t use them.
