Default Anyone found aftermarket wipers that fit this car?

I've been to 4 different auto parts stores, used countless online 'tools' from the wiper manufacturers and still cannot find wipers that actually fit this truck. Once you go aftermarket you are already looking at 22" wipers instead of the OEM oddball size of 23" (which NOBODY carries). I can live with the slightly smaller size. One employee swore up and down a certain blade would just pop right in and was completely flummoxed. I guess I can just order OEM but LR parts prices are just stupid for little consumables like this. Anyone?

Have you thought about just replacing the rubber insert? Ebay has lots for sale, no idea if any would fit, but they sure are cheap! If you find one that works, let the rest of us know as our time will come...

These are the modern 'beam" style wipers that have a semi-rigid span of rubber that gives the wiper its shape. We're not talking about the old school metal wiper arms. The rubber of the whole arm gets kind of janky sitting out in the sun as much as the actual blade wears down. I don't think you can replace just the blades on these things, nor would I want to. You want nice fresh stuff there to ensure good contact with the windshield.
