The rubber inserts alone could be hard to find?
I‘m sure you could take the inserts off the blades from RockAuto and install on the original wipers? I‘d bet the OEM stuff was sourced from Trico? |

According to the article, Trico was the supplier. The author recommended the Trico #43-200 refill blades. You had to do some slight modification to make them fit but it is doable.

Later wiper blade heads do change and yes the arrow heads are correct for the early cars. I have also found inserts that work and swapped them out. I also believe I have a set that is correct for 1995 that a dealer installed. Can send photos if someone needs them. IM and we can work out a fair price with shipping. All Corvettes for the same year have the same arms and heads (ie 90 coupe, convert and ZR-1 are all the same). Trico was OEM.

Thank and went to RockAuto and ordered two lifetime supplies for me and a friend. Will lose the head and swap rubber into the original heads. Joel

I paid more for shipping than I did for the parts

I got 4 pairs in earlier in the week. The aged packaging indicated NAPA parts. The wipers themselves looked great.

A quick wipe of the blades with a rag soaked
with some silicone spray will make them as good as new. |
