I put them on my 92 about a year ago. They set like they should and work fine.

I bought RainX Latitudes I think and was pretty disappointed. They wipe good enough, solid construction and conform well but they just wont stay locked on my wiper arm. I finally put a small zip tie on each of them and they are at least staying put for now. It never rains in Florida, what do I need wipers for anyway.............

I spent 45 minutes at a local parts store trying every blade they could think of. I ended up going to my local Chevy dealer and ordering them. 2 different part numbers for drivers side and pass. they cost $38 for the pair. pricey but I think the old ones were original eqipment. so only $2 per year. If you look at it that way it was a bargain

Ideally I believe the '95 - '96 are the better but for an initial upgrade for '94 or earlier it requires arms from the '95 - '96 also. The arms I believe are likely only available used now.

i went through this and wasted a lot of time. The original equipment blades are a side mounting with a plastic insert that shims the shaft for a proper fit.
Went to several auto parts stores and tried several replacement blades, the mounting hole is too large for the mounting shaft. Therefore, the replacement blade wobbled.
Go to a General Motors dealer and order the proper blade, they are only $12.00.
The replacement blade has been re-designed with a replacement hole that fits the shaft properly and eliminates the plastic insert bushing.
The blades fit properly with no wobble.
