My wipers are down to pretty much nothing.  I called the dealership and it's $47 per blade!?  That's crazy!  I reviewed some older posts on here and it was suggested to get the rubber from Walmart or Advance Autoparts and trim it down.  I went to Advance and the employee there said they didn't have the wiper that I needed and when he looked at it, he couldn't figure out how to slide the rubber blade out.  I'm new to this and at the expense of sounding like a girlie-girl, I just can't seem to figure it out (in my defense, the auto parts guy couldn't either!). 

I'm not spending $100 on new wipers for my Rover.  But I need to be able to see.  Should this be an easy fix?  Where should I go to get the replacement rubber blades and how do I pull the darn thing out?

Thanks!

You didn't read lats weekends post regarding Sill Blades, buy them on line or thru Expedition Exchange. I have a set that are at least 4 plus years old, they are the only way to go.

Mike,

I did see that post thanks so much.  I actually went to the site and I'll be ordering those today.  But, in the interim, I can't see.  Is there a quick/cheap fix that I can do while I wait for delivery?

Thanks for all your help!
