Question... Where do you get your wiper blades
I went looking for some over the weekend however the Bosch and Anco catalogues dont list any wipers available for the C4. What wipers are you using and where did you get them?

Re: Question... Where do you get your wiper blades (T1Kilr)
I just went to the dealership and got refills for my '92.
Gr. 10.146 p/n 12533416 Insert
Paid 6.50 each, probably a bit high, but it seems that most of the aftermarket blade inserts are fairly stiff almost like they are hard rubber.
I still have the original blade assemblies and they are still pretty stiff. One of the problems with aftermarket blades is that some are so tall they can actually hit the hood when they park :eek:

Re: Question... Where do you get your wiper blades (larryf)
I tried most of the aftermarket wiper blades and none of them fit.
They all hit the hood. I ended up buying refills and taking the blades
apart and installing the refills. They work OK, but not like the originals.
MY car has been in the rain only a few times so I can live with the refills.

I found that TRICO makes a low profile blade assembly for early c4's #20-2. Less then $7 each at PepBoys. They should also have one for later c4's. Clears the hood without a problem.

I went through the aftermarket blade refill malaise, too, with a set of the Anco Aero-Advantage blades. Too tall, clashed the hood. I ended up going back to the dealer for a complete wiper and blade set for my `92.
The Pontiac Firebird blades are about $2 cheaper and fit exactly on there, too!

Just got some from the dealer that I bought the car from $22.13 for the pair. I got the salesman's discount :cool: and I finally got my PKE remote!
