    the old wiper refill trick 240 200

    Hiya Uncle Old Duke,

    I found wiper blade refills as a Federated Auto Parts store in Wackyngton State. Federated Auto Parts is a national chain, or national chain brand, though not so numerous. Some sort of no-name wiper blade refill.

    I got some 17" blades that would so of slide into the metal Bosch wiper blade holder assembly tines or, well, I dunno. Yet I had to bend the metal bits to better secure in the wiper blade.

    The blade lasted for a year. The Bosch wiper blade holder assembly was falling apart.

    So I got Bosch wiper blade assemblies from Auto Zone. Works fine.

    Though as Uncle Onkel Udo II found for you, you can try the auto parts store chain websites and have them delivered to you or the store for pickup, or order at the store for pickup from the store.

    eBay has bunches.

    Hope that helps.

    cheers,

    dud.

    The blades also wears out. They start to get loose at the pivot points/rivets. New assembly not too much money. Note when inserts were readily available I would change them out more frequently.

    Clicked on this hoping you'd found a solution. Nothing available in Stinking Creek anymore. One chain store employee said something about floor space and displays. :)

      hi art-i was afraid of that. the wiper is a 16 " on a 240. only ones i see on the net are 13 ". too bad . hate being wasteful. why replace the blade if the only part that wears is the refill. dont want to be ecologically unsound. btw new quote from clausewitz i think- war is much too serious to be left to the generals. thanks tons my brutha. now wait a minute is stinking creek the swamp don talked about draining? oldduke
