Wiper blade refills
I need to replace the wiper blades on my 93 vert. I'm fairly sure that I used refills from Bosch last time. Does anyone know the part number for a Bosch blade or refill that fits and clears the hood, please? I'm in the UK, and I've searched the 'net for Trico 202/4, AC Delco #-2202, and Anco U-20R (refill), as recommended on this forum, but they're not available from UK suppliers. Thanks

Amazon UK had a couple options BUT none of the "reported fits" from here in the US. I would think if what you have presently works just remove one and use it as a template for local shopping. Shop maybe 20" or 508/510mm. It looked like maybe the choices on Amazon might have been 500mm. There might be some interesting Metric fits.

Thanks. I took an old refill shopping yesterday, but came up with nothing. All anyone seems to sell here are "Universal Fit" rubbish!
However, I've found a company that sells just the rubber itself. You save the metal part of the old refill, cut the new rubber to length and fit it into the metal surround. Hopefully that will keep me going until I can find the real thing.
Someone on Ebay is selling AC Delco89001011 for '95-'96. I suppose that's a different fitting to my '93?

FWIW, I just went to my Chevy dealership and ordered new blades for my 96. They had to get them delivered, but it was next day, iirc. The cost was $9 each, which is cheap. And I knew they would fit correctly.

Here, ACDelco's exact part that you need, it will clear the hood, and fit the early model wiper studs without issue.

I already have that part number, but I can't find it from a UK supplier - believe me, I've tried!! Thanks anyway. I've ordered just rubbers, which will replace the worn out ones in the original refill metal frame things. Hopefully that will get me out of trouble

I wrote down brand and part numbers for my 1994 vette and went shopping. I bought 4 different sets from the list but non would fit under the hood. A few were very close to going under. I ended up buying the replacement blade for the factory arms. They don't look as good as the wiper arms on newer cars but they work.
