Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades

[DL-Hamilton]

What make of replacement windshield wiper blades should I get for my 96?
I tried the Trico Exact Fit (20-1) but the drivers side wiper catches on the hood.

I get 'em from my GM dealer.
$7-8 each.

DL and Graham it is funny that this thread came up. Driving back from Parry Sound yesterday in the rain I realized my wipers are the original ones to the car. I guess it is time to hit the GM dealer and get a new set.

Anybody need a set of NSNOS (not so new old stock) wipers for an 03. If you want numbers matching this is it.

Timely thread indeed..
We just got back today from a week in the BC Interior at a couple of car shows.
I was washing the bugs off the nose & the windshield and noticed the wiper blades had split.
I'm off to the dealer as well.
We did 380kms today..top-down the whole way..28C temp...perfect day!
(Didn't need the wipers at all.!)

Graham, $7-$8 each you should buy a bunch and ship them to Ontario. GM dealer here in Hamilton quoted me $30 each!
What make are the ones you get from your GM dealer?

Yikes, I think mine are good for a couple more years.

Graham and you thought sending those Christmas Cards to Mary Barra was a waste of time.

I meant to ask her about a SWPS for Marty's older C5 Vette.

Graham, thanks for the info but unfortunately the AC-Delco wipers for my 96 are P/N 22154985 for drivers side and 22155368 for passenger side. These are the ones that a local dealer quoted me $30 each. I think my car currently has the original wipers so I think I will have to ante up and buy the specified AC Delco blades. I don't ever intend to drive in the rain but this year it doesn't seem to matter because when its supposed to nice and sunny I end up driving in rain.️

DL...
What can make them that much different in cost??
I did some searching but your blades seem to cost more.
Some in a USA site for $8.50usd + $35 shipping???
I did find some Bosch replacements on-line in Canada @ Wrench Monkey for <$11 each.
They didn't specify right/left though?

Ask for a discount at your dealer and get proper replacements.
