O'Reilly has Anco and Trico flat wiper blades. They replace both the blades and arms (or brackets, or whatever you call them). Cost: $12-15 for either flat or regular blades/arms. Refills: Regulars, $6. Flats, another $12, since you're replacing the whole unit. It's supposed to be 60*F here Saturday, so I should be able to mount (ie, glue) the cowling then. I'll post pics when it's done. I'll remount the old blades and measure the height difference too.

I took the Cav to 31mpg avg. last summer, but I've been able to keep it over 30 this winter. So I'm anxious to see what that means this summer.
