Default Wiper Blade Replacements

Where can I find some of these that will fit my car. I bought some that said they would fit but they didnt by any means. Where do I get them and if you have the part number that would be great. Thanks.

Best peice of advice I can offer you is to pull out your manual, figure out what size you need. Then pick out your favorite brand....and walla....its done. Seriously bro I do beleive they are like 24's or 26's, some oddly large *** number. should be able to find them at just about any decent parts store(autozone, o'reillys, et cetera). i always went with bosch wipers but its a personal preference. bosch always worked well for me!

The OE wipers on my '01 were made by Bosch.

Bosch does make good blades and refills, if you don't want to waste time with refills, just get the whole blade.

I think I got 24" ones, but they are too wide at the top and wouldn;t go in. Do I have to get a narrow kind?

Just got some Autozone. They had Bosch, but they only came with the whole thing, the blade and metal part. I bought some by Anco... Seem to work well, they are nice and soft too. Thanks guys!

Anco's work well, the blade is metal instead of cheap plastic like the ones from AC Delco

I remember when I changed mine there was a problem with the retaining clip. No one carried the narrows around here. All you have to do is snag the clip out of another package and voila, you're done. (they had like 18 narrow with the adapter clip. I used that with the 24 blade)
