I have been looking for wiper blade refills for my 2008 LT3 without
Any luck. Kragen, Pep Boys don’t even show them.
Anyone know where to buy a direct replacement, other than a dealer?
I live in Southern Calif.

Get Silblades. They are by far the best wiper i've ever used.

Ive got a friend who is a dealer for Silblade so I always buy them from him. Im sure you can find them online. They are made of silicone and work awesome and last forever.

Yea the Bosch are decent too. i used them til i discovered silblades. silblade blows them away though.

i had them for years on my land rover. they are the only wipers that I ever found that could wipe an entire windshield worth of mud off. and not only that, it didn't tear them up! heres an example of how well they work:

I've got them on my Trailblazer and I love them. They work great in heavy rain,I mean it sweeps away the water fast. Oh they are also great in the snow/ice.

Thats where my icons fail. In snow. They chatter. But we get about less than half an inch of snow every 5 years so I dont worry about that to much lol.

While I use the Icons on my Tahoe, I still like the performance of the Rain-X Latitude's that I used on my trailblazer a little bit better

I put the rainx on the silverado just to try it. The rain x works ok. But the bosch just seems a little bit better. Plus the rainx is not flush on the passenger side (edge hangs off a bit) where as the icons were solid contact all the way through.

I put these on my Sierra and Corvette but when I bought them they were on sale 2fer1.
Maybe email Tire Rack and see if they'll deal...
