I'm pretty sure the Trico classic blades only come in 15". Finding correct looking E-body blades is a problem. That is why they can be expensive.

I'm pretty sure the Trico classic blades only come in 15". Finding correct looking E-body blades is a problem. That is why they can be expensive. Unless something changed, that's wrong... they are on every size. I have Trico Classic on my 74 Charger which are the same than E body and they are 16" Originally they were Anco, but Anco Blades were becoming some damaged and even with new refills still didn't got a good sweep over the glass, so switched to Trico Blades, 33-162 I think is the PN for the full Blades assembly, new from box and got some spare refills. Trico blades are definitelly more robust than my old Ancos, also smoother/slim look I think the PN decodes like this 33 the classic line 16 for te size 2 for the pin mounting type 0 on last would be for the slide-in arm kind I think Or maybe I'm telling reversed for the 2 and 0 last number code, being the 0 stands for the pin mounting kind, not sure. Just can't recall the refills PN

I still have the blister of the ones I got around although the pic is old. Took it as reference for a future ( which it seems will be the past now )
I'll find the refills packages somewhere... pretty sure is 43-160 or something like that

The OP asked for refills, not replacement blades.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

but OP never told if he uses Anco or Trico... then I posted the Trico blade option and reference which gets the refill PN I posted
I think Trico back in the days were like Anco, push buttons kind, with minor diff, but nowdays, i think the newer Trico vintage blade replacement pieces are way better design and quality than the stock ones and still keeping some of the stock look, then I made the suggestion

Ancos I had on my car ( which I got used looooong time ago ) are a main bridge with two smaller ones attached on ends Main bridge had a tab to release it from the wiper arm ( pin kind ) One of the smaller bridges got a push button to release it from the main bridge. Then you should install the refill in it. Reinstalling on the full blade, need to slide the refill it into the other small bridge and click on the removable bridge into the main one. Can't talk about the older Tricos but I think were pretty much similar?. Newers are a continuous but dual bridge with the articulation pivot sleeve in center what snaps on into the wiper arm without a releasing tab ( pin kind ) and I think one smaller bridge attached to the center pivot, underneath and very good hidden by the main assembly. Can't recall more details because my car is spread all around on a body shop since 4 years and a thousand mile from home. The change from the Anco to the newer Trico classic series was really noticeable. They work way better and still looking classic stock
