Wipers
Simple but frustrating question, please no peanut gallery comments.
Recently got a 91 base coupe. Tried to match up wipers at the local naught-no parts store to no luck.
What wipers do you other C4 users get?

2021 C4 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist
seriously. not exactly a garage queen but my car won't see rain, so frankly i could just scrap the wipers altogether you know...but, the only person in my house loves that car maybe more than me is my 3 year old boy. and he f'n loves to get in that thing. so naturally there's some necessary "readjustment" of controls when i pull him screaming out of it. couple times i've missed the wipers were on so it was a surprise when they came on with startup. i guess they aren't low profile enough because they will catch the hood a bit on the way out. haven't seen anything at the parts store that looks thinner than what i got. the stuff from rock auto i can expect will do the trick?

I use the super cheap ones from Walmart on my 84. They are the only inexpensive ones I could find that are thin enough to fit down in the cowl. I tried about 5 sets from the local parts store before I found them. It is extremely rare for me to get caught in the rain. She saw some rain the day I bought her about 3 years ago and then I got into some pop up light rain a few weeks back and that is it. So I'm not about to spend $15+ per blade. $3 is my max... Haha

Thanks for the info. I havbe been struggling to get a correct wiper blade or just the Trico insert to no avail. I didnt want to go with the bulky plastic ones tha the parts store said fit my car. I just ordered the Trico Exact Fit and they look to be correct.
On my older cars, and ones that I have restored in my shop, that have stainless wiper blades, I have found that Napa has the "Classic" wiper arms that look corrrect and fit good.
