From what I'm seeing in the auto parts stores, wiper blade refills are no longer readily available, they want you to buy a whole blade. Rock Auto doesn't show refills either, at least not for a 68 Fury. There is a universal snap-to-length type but don't want to use that unless I have to.

15" tires are evaporating, and it's a sad state for the hobby when we have to start scrounging for wiper blades. What are you guys doing for blades?

I found this:

Sometimes you have to ask a question in order to find the answer.

Found this:

I think the 43-series is what we typically use. Now just gotta find an easy way to get them. Might have to stock up on 'em.

Funny you mention this because I searched the site last night to see if there was another thread about wiper refills.
None of the local parts stores here carry them any more either...My 73 New Yorker has 16" blades and I was able to find some 17" refills at Princess Auto which is kinda like Harbor Freight in the US.

I just looked at the packaging and they were rebranded Napa refills, I searched the Napa site for "wiper refills" and a bunch came up so they must still have them.
