Recently had my 9-5 in the shop for oil change. Dealer noticed my wipers were coming apart (6 months lots of ice and snow) replacements were 45 + 16 installed, pretty steep for blades don't you think but seems like the only game in town or so I thought! I am pretty cheap so figured there had to be a better option. Saved the old wipers and stripped out the rubber, saved the metal strips and went shopping at, of all places, Wal Mart! After several abortive attemps, found almost exact refills. Took about one Jag episode to re-rubber the wipers and voila, a new/spare set of blades Found the LEXOR 11-28 inch Narrow Series "E" fit just fine. Total cost for rubbers $4.47 sure beats the heck out of $ 61.00 don't you think. BTW a popcycle stick helps to push the rubber under the small clips along the blade. Also the part trimmed off( if one is careful) is large enough to re-fit the headlamp wipers- an added bonus! :-))
Good luck hope you can use info.
