FLAPS no longer sell wiper blade refills, just whole wipers
WTF? I checked a year or two ago, and couldn't find wiper blade refills in either of the two bigger parts places near me (O'Reilly and Autozone). They only had new blades. I tried some of the "beam" blades, and they worked fine, but the bit where the blade attaches to the arm sticks up really high and is visible as 2 warts. I don't like it, so I want to refill the 2 original blades (I kept the frames). Trico makes some universal cut/break-to-fit refills that should fit, but that's it. There are 4 stores with the closest being 50 miles and an hour away that stock them. Then there are another 5 stores within 100 miles. Of course, none of those stores are in areas that we frequently find ourselves, like near downtown or near the kids/g-kids.
Damn clouds!! Get off my lawn!
Oh, and those particular Tricos are not available from Amazon. Wankers!
I can order them for $9.49 from O'reilly (ship to store is not available), and the shipping is $15+.
