21's and 24's

So after 21,000 miles I have replaced my windshield wipers. I found out that the drivers side uses a 24" wiper and the passenger is a 21." Just wanted to let you guys and gals know that little camaro fact

Nice info. And I'm so glad it isn't a thread about 24" wheels.

And apparently is darned near impossible to get "refills" now. You need to get the whole blade.

Refills = 2 for $10, just replaces the rubber. Blades - $10 - $25 *EACH*. AACK! My last car had the original blades for 18 years. Sounds like a scam to me.

Yea .... I wish someone could explain that to me. Why do the original wipers seem to last forever, but the replacements are only good for a couple years?

I don't know where you are shopping at, but I paid 6.37 for each blade with rubber in them at walmart. I got the Michellins. Tested them out and they work great.
