That's why I went for the refills. The wipers were fine, just the rubber blades needed replacing. They're also cheaper, less than $20 for both refills, vs. $20 each for a new wiper.

My favorite also. Yiou can buy just the refills, or the complete assembly. I alternate with refills one year, complete assembly the next year.
If you go into a dealership and buy blades, there's a good chance you won't get the GM parts. Many dealers sell aftermarket blades, you may need to have them order the factory stuff. No too expensive.

This is what I did. I was in a jam and needed some new blades so that my car would pass inspection, one of the blades had split along the edge. I was in a hurry and went to Auto Zone and picked a pair up. They did not work well at all. I later replaced them with NAPA refill blades and I have been very happy with them.

NAPA refills for $7 seems to be just the answer for me too! Just took 5 minutes to install.

I use the PIAA Super silica blades (Tire Rack) with the spoiler on the drivers side wiper. They seem work well.
