I have a 2002 9-5 Wagon and am having a hard time finding rubber wiper inserts. I don't want the whole blade, just the inserts. My mechanic says that Velco has made the wiper blades a non-standard size (22.5 inches instead of 22, and a little thinner than most) to force me to replace the entire blade whenever the rubber insert needs to be replaced. I did manage to get an aftermarket 22 inch insert into the driver's side blade, but it was a real chore because the insert is wider than the blade. And it does not wipe as well as I would like. Has anyone found a good source for inserts? Thanks. Vince
