Default Wiper Blades

Hi,

I have a 1990 convertible. Where can I find a correct pair of replacement wiper blades? I have been through 3 different sets, they all stand too tall when installed and get caught under the hood. I obviously need a pair with a very low profile.
I ordered a set from a Corvette specialist and they would not even go on the wiper arm.

any advice appreciated.

I too went through several pair's and budget would not allow things like Rain-X. What I did find was the Bottom of the line Duralast blades didn't hit of get snagged

Get the right OEM metal wiper blades and be done with it!

These are genuine AC-Delco metal wiper blades, like the ones your C4 came from the factory with. They work great, won't fall off and will clear the hood just like the OEM ones did. If these don't work you have other problems;

AC-Delco part # 8-2202 GM part # 89001009

Went through a similar scenario with my '86. I tried another brand, but they were too tall. Went with Delco.
