Wiper blades
I am having trouble finding replacement windshield wiper blades for my 1996 C4. Are the left and right blades the same? Is driver side considered the left? Any help appreciated. I found one link that said left available and if driver side that would help. Thanks

I just took the wiper blades off my 1995 and they look identical. I also bought a new set of Anco Contours on special and they have the same part number.

Take a peek at these if you want original...

I must say.......I don't understand why OEM blades always last longer than aftermarket.

When I was looking for blades for my 96 I first went to Advance Auto and bought the Trico model I'd found recommended here. It turned out they didn't fit the pins on my wiper arms. What I found was beginning in 95 they switched to a 1/4 inch pin as opposed to the 3/16 inch that the earlier models had. You may want to verify those OEM blades will actually fit before you buy them.

The left and right on the 96 are definitely different. I got a set from the local Chevy dealer and a set from Amazon that were both advertised to fit and did not. Each were a different style, but identical left and right. They hung up on the hood when the wipers tried to park. I ended up getting a set from Corvette America. The left and right are different part numbers.
