So i bought a pair of the thign shop wiper blades, and they say that you can go and get refills "from any local auto parts shop", but they dont have a listing of what to get. (e.g. size, brand, etc) When i asked them about it, they just said I can buy the refills from them, which defeats the purpose of going to the flaps.
has anyone found a reliable refill for these? they changed the lsiting on ebay after I asked them about it.

| You should be able to buy just about any refill as far as I know. Thing blades are 11". If you can't find an 11" refill you should be able to cut a larger one to fit. |

| I think the last time I needed a refill I found a 12" and installed it so the long end points towards the wiper shaft. The refills can go in the arms either way so flipping the direction was easy. |

| You can grind the arms down just a bit and use 11 or 12" blade depending on brand. A carefully drilled and tapped hole will hold the blades in place. |
