where ever you go to get blades, there is at least 1 or 2 reference books to look at. just check that.

actually if you get aftermarket blades then the little inserts are usually easier to replace.
I hate when people come in my store (advance auto) and try to make me match their stock wipers w/ blade! I takes half the time to just install the whole thing!

i replace them with oem rubber inserts, i get 20% off so i usually stick with oem parts for many things.
