My D2 caps fit the nut just fine. Been holding on for 2 years now.

Ive been trying to figure something out from another manufacturer at the pick n' pull.

I think some VW and BMW use the same spindle size...

I've used the following with good results.
A note on the rear blades: while they look direct fit, mine required some trimming to conform to arm.
(I have two rear blades listed for your convenience).

Yup, works great. Mine have been holding on for years "on and off-road"!

Default Bosch

I used the refills out of some standard Bosch Excel+ blades (not Icon or any of that "foo foo" crap) for both the windshield and rear door. Rear door wiper was shorter, of course. These are available at most auto parts stores, but I bought mine at O'Reilly's. I'll see if I threw the old ones in the side box and try to find a part number. I think they carry a Trico direct fit replacement, too...but I like to keep my factory wiper arms and just refit new blade refills.

You'll need to move fast as they are disappearing like free hot cakes.

That's what I do also.
