Is there an independent site that does windshield wiper fit information? The typical fit guides and even manufacturers fit guides are failing me. I’ve run into this before with my Volt because it had a left and right blade which are different and most manufacturers claim one blade fits both; they don’t.
I tried to order a new rear blade for my wife’s 2017 Spark. According to two fit guides, one of which was from the blade manufacturer, I ordered the right blade. Not only is it the wrong size, but the mount isn’t right.
This is the old blade. See that slot by my finger? There’s a piece on the wiper arm that goes into that slot. The supposed correct blade doesn’t have that slot. I’ve looked at two other supposedly right blades, and they don’t have it either.
I checked a Spark forum, and they say the only model they’ve found that actually fits is by Michelin. Guess what, that blade has been discontinued.
I don’t know what brand the current wiper arm is. Are refills universal? If so I’ll just replace the rubber and be done with it.
