Default Love finding wipers for F body's....

Why does GM hate us? 3 parts stores, none have them, or list them... they all say N/A... Oreilly's here carried a Trico 24-9e or something like that that fit it perfectly... you would think that most places would carry these.... they are very popular cars...

The lt1 body style uses a reverse J-hook so most part numbers end in R for them. You can swap to ls1 wiper arms which use a normal J-hook and run any number of cool trendy wiper blades.

Try finding a passenger side blade for a G8. Its an oddball size so I had to order it through GM. Luckily it was less expensive than aftermarket.

Other than the reverse J hook, our windshields aren't friendly to non-OEM wipers. This company makes OEM replacements that don't skip on the windshield
