Just bought some rainx latitude 20" blades and it looks like they changed the design pretty much. I don't see any way to make it work without heavy modification to the wiper blade mount.

 

I found a 50% solution by bending the "C-Clip" at the base of the wiper arm closed more, and bending the metal the wiper blade is attached to at the ends to create better contact with the windshield. Still flutters a tad at highway speeds, so I know there's not a lot of downforce, but the smears of on the untouched portions of the windshield definitly shrank.

Option for cheaper replacement are the universal cut-to-fit refills which work fine and are <$4 each.

 

I took the plastic cover off of the metal and drilled a hole through the mount. Then I put a small bolt with a nut through it to hold it in.

 

I'm using the Michelin Stealth wiper blades. I removed everything from the arm, widened the tabs towards the lower part of the arm (where it held the factory blade in place). The new blade is held in with a plastic push pin (universal body panel type).

 

The pictures won't show for me, bought a set and maybe I haven't been supplied with correct clip?
