Re: [Chrysler300] windshield wiper refill blades

["Dave Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran into the same problem on the way to Branson. Got a pair of refills 
from O'Reillys and tried to make them work but had no luck. Even after I had 
crimped the arms to accept the narrower blades they still flopped around in 
the arm enough that the arm would nearly scratch the windshield so I took 
them back.

Not only is the slotted metal blade holder, for lack of a better term, too 
narrow but the blade did not seem to be as "tall" as the originals. O got to 
wondering later that maybe the original blade holder might be substituted 
for the newer narrow one but by this time the rain had pretty much cleared 
out and wipers were not an isue.
