Anybody find refills for Trico 32" wiper blades?

I think I know the answer to the question after searching the Internet. Was trying to save a few bucks by purchasing refills for the Trico 32" wipers on the MH. Couldn't find any.

I did notice that some have gone down to 28" blades and said they didn't notice real difference. They are cheaper than 32" and refills are available. Comments?

Funny thing is that CW was the cheapest for the full replacement arms at $70 for the pair including shipping.

    new class A owner and yet another unpleasant surprise. $70 bucks for wipers? seriously?

    I gotta go look at mine and see if I can make 2 16" wipers work :-)

    No refills that I know of -- I have a 07 Camelot, & changed to 28 inch blades about 3 years ago - They work just as well as the 32`s did -- I got the boomerang type blades -- They form to the windshield better -- Bill Willard

    They can be had from CW, eBay and Amazon, and most auto parts stores. These results were from a quick search with google.

    $30.00 is a good price.
    To make the wiper blades last longer put them in one of these
    when parked.
    One six foot section will cover both wipers. Prevents sun from drying them out.

    I switched to the longest ones available at Walmart or Autozone, 28 inches, and don't miss the extra few inches. $6.99 is much better than $29.95.

    Do you have the kind that attach with screws? You can get adapters so you can use regular J hook blades.

    I like TEO's response. I too got 28" blades at Wal-Mart only they were 8 dollars. Work just as well and I doubt anyone that did not know they were shorter than original would know the difference.

    Bill brings up an important point. My coach uses a small bolt to attach the blade to the arm. A J hook won't work on mine.

    I didn't know there was an adapter to convert it to a J hook style until Bill mentioned it. Think I'll look into that as I have a new set of 28" Michelin blades with the J Hook.

    I went to a smaller length blade a long time ago and it hasn't been a problem.
