Default Wiper refills

I have wiper arms with "trico" on them. To keep them ,can I buy the repo arms and switch out the rubber part only or do I have to buy the refills only?

Thanks, Dave

Yes. I just bought a set of the g143b refills. They fit the OEM Trico blades correctly.

The refills are designed to fit original wiper blades. Regarding the repro blades, it does look like you would be able to use the rubber portion only. Of course these will not have the exact markings or shape as the "correct" refills.

I bought the Trico refills. Took the rubber/stel inserts out.Put them in my frames
I have the "square" looking frames (OE I Guess) and put the inserts in . They say trico on them.

looks good, fit good.

I dont see the difference.
