Me again with my questions!!!

Where can I order stock wiper blades for our cars. Search option is not helping and dealer is telling me they are no longer available due to high level of customer complaints...

I know there are several brands available pretty much anywhere but they are not quite "low profile" enough like the stock wipers....

Any help would be great....thanks again!

Yeah I have but they only have the big bulky ones....I would really prefer the skinny low profile OEM wipers....

Might want to take what you can get for right now until you can find what you want and buy several sets.

I use the Rain-X beam blades.

Ive noticed the design of the wiper blade attachment to the wiper arm is different on my 09 Grand Marquis from my Marauder. I like the Marauder one because its lower, wonder if they are still available from Ford?

dealer is telling me they are no longer available due to high level of customer complaints...That is correct. The original blades looked good, but they sucked at wiping the windshield. We bought The Blackbird in September and I took the blades off in October because they streaked and chattered so badly.

I doubt you'll find any new blades of identical construction as they simply don't work.

FWIW, I've been using the Michelin blades from Wally's for a few years now...they're relatively inexpensive and they work great. Win-win.

22" is the standard size for the Marauder wiper blade.

I also recommend the Michelin blades and I believe you will be thrilled
with them.

I have Rain-X Latitude wiper blades. They look like the originals in a way.

I'm willing to offer 20 bucks a piece for the original wipers plus shipping, I rarely drive when it rains, and the high profile one always looked off on the car.

I need some new wipers, this sounds like a plan for me!

I like the Napa blades that come in the Blue packaging. They work better than any other aftermarket blades I've tried over the years.

My offer still stands, anyone still have a set of original wiper blades?
