    I got a set with the metal bit attached, about $2 each + postage, from paddocks. But I was getting other stuff so was worth my time. Can't u just get the rubber bits from super cheap auto?

    I would not go for them Digger, as you will most likely find the small "gold' specks impregnated in the rubber will scratch your windscreen!

    Just been through this as needed new blades for roadworthy. Mines a 1997, so yours maybe different. I just took out the old one, took it into repco, and got them to find the generic rubber out the back. It seems to be the narrower profile of the generic ones they had out the back. $5 per stick, cut down to size, done. Will order some replacement arms/blades on ebay for a more reasonable price now that the pressure is off.

    G'day Digger

    I think the genetic wiper rubbers are A777 from memory Trico brand ex-Repco/Supercheap.
