Default Bosch or Trico windshield wiper blades

Does anyone have a part number for Bosch Icon or similar one piece (frameless) Trico blades that will fit a 1994 TA? I went to the parts store yesterday and found out that they didn't have anything to fit the idiotic reverse hook style mounting LT1 cars use.

I don't have a part number, but AdvanceAuto had them where I live.
I logged onto their website, and they show a Trico 24-9R.

Went to Walmart today and found out rainx makes a beam style wiper blade for the goofy reverse hook mounting

Installed RainX Latitude blades. They did need a slight bit of modification to the mounting hardware that comes with the blades and the wiper arm itself. The 'ears' on the bracket for the 9x4 hook need to be trimmed for it swivel 180* and the hook on wiper arm needs to be bent down a few degrees to allow the wiper blade to sit flat against the windshield.

We carry RainX latitudes at work but they do not fit on a f-body. Anyone have a part number? I would love to get another set.

I don't have a part number. The catalog states 24" latitudes should fit 93-97 f-bodies.
