have you tried to buy wiper blade inserts? just the rubber inserts?
Yes, I have, as recently as yesterday. No can do anymore. That's real progress.

Not too long ago (5 years ago?) I was able to find these "generic" inserts that were about 28" long that you just cut to fit anything and they were about $1/pair. I wish I could find them now. Noooo, that makes too much sense when we can have an entire display of designer blades at $5 each and up that basically ALL DO THE SAME THING
