Default 1984 corvette windshield wipers

My car has the worst way of having to install the blades. Pushing it on a peg and you can't find newer blades that fit these. Is there a more modern C4 wiper arm that uses the more modern universal fitting blades that can fit where my wiper arms fit?

Hopeful

Most wipers come with multiple adapters to fit most cars. Have you tried the adapters?

Trico 20-2. Pin works fine. The new A style hook arms I've had go flying off enough times to appreciate the push pin.

The last two sets of 20" RainX i bought fit perfectly. They are universal with any adapters needed for proper fitment.

I just bought a carquest 20" XQ20. No adapters, it just pushed in and seems solid. Only 8 bucks too. The AC Delco was going to be $35 each from Amazon. The carquest looked like the original type with the metal rib structure. I like the more moder types but since these hide under the cowl, they should last a while.

Thanks
