New wipers or refills for 1981 Corvette

[V8Adam]

Hi everybody,
The wipers on my 1981 Corvette are past it. I found some old threads on this forum but none of them had any definitive recommendations. I was wanting to know what wipers or blade refills you guys would recommend? I have found a lot on Rockauto but do not know which one would be best.

Don't suppose they are the best, but I used Conventional Frame Style Trico ones from Rockauto and they work just fine.

Is it worth trying to clean them with wd40?

Hi There. Scott at Corvette Kingdom has them on the shelf, you can bet they will be good quality too.

Thanks guys. I did see them on Corvette Kingdom but the refills are £23.70 each.

Ouch seems a lot for wiper blades

Mine cost £8 for the pair delivered (although that was sharing the postage cost with a few other items)

I bought 2 refills from Halfords and stripped down and refilled the existing holders on my ‘78.

Just incase anybody is looking in the future, the price for the blade refills on Corvette Kingdom are for the pair, not individual.
