I needed to replace my wiper blades and at Carquest I found some Trico 11-1 blades that I thought would work.
The carrier that attaches to the support arm has a slot in it that would slide over the metal end that the OEM blade attaches to. I used a dremel to remove a small piece of plastic on...
Friday update:
