Some time ago, I came across a discussion on blades versus refills. Since information and pricing referred to the US market, I thought I'd share my experience "up north." Our friendly Saturn-Saab-Isuzu dealer (GM Canada's dealer network Saabers have to content with) quoted an amazing $83.95 for 2 OEM wiper blades. I liked Bernard's posting of Nov. 12, 2000 and John's of Feb. 8, 2003 and ordered 2 Trico 47-600 narrow refills priced at $14.29 at Napa Canada. The 23-1/2" long Trico refills are recommended specifically for the 9-5 and fit the 6mm square claw of the 9-5 metal blade. Although the 23-1/2" refills (made in Australia) work well, I trimmed them down to 23" and like what I see - literally. Hope this may help someone stranded "up north." Regards, Peter
