I tried the trico's but the arm on the blade is too skinny for the wiper arm. The only ones I can find that fit my year is thru FOT.

The trico 67-261 I bought at camping world had a selection of adapters and I used one of the included fiber washers per blade to fill the space due to the skinny mid section of that trico replacement.

I went to a local NAPA store and they had the appropriate refills in stock. (Sorry I don't have the detailed information with me right now.)

I put in the cheap walmart blades ($3 a pop). One can either drill/cut out the rivet or slightly bend holder on the arm out a bit to accommodate the pin.

I'm a huge fan of rainX which minmizes wiper use anyway.
