Windshield wiper blades

For the life of me, I cannot figure out where to get wiper blades for my 72 that will work. I tried some from the auto parts store, they were too 'tall' and caught on the wiper door. So I ordered these:

But those don't have the little latch hole to even put them on my car...

Totally confused here on what I actually need to buy for such a simple thing, lol.

Thanks

Got these at the auto parts store.

Trico blade #16-2 worked for me.

I believe I got mine from Pep Boys. They were called Trico Exact Fit.

I had the same issues, most replacements were too tall, hit the wiper door. I ended up buying exact replacements from one of the Corvette parts vendors.
