Default Wiper inserts?

Anyone buy replacement inserts for factory wipers lately? I can only seem to find complete blades. Anyone buy the inserts online? I looked at mine today and they were literally nonexistent!

Did the photo not attach? I'm using the "new, improved" app.

I purchased Bosch inserts for my car late last year from Amazon. I bought a pair that was long enough for the passenger side and cut one down to fit the driver's side. You can also get inserts from VW/Audi dealerships, there are a few threads on here with the appropriate part number.

Does Bosch still sell the closed end wiper blades anymore? Everything I found new lately is open ended and looks cheaply made now. The finish is obviously down spec'ed. The 18" closed end blade inserts are still available, but that's the only part I could find.

I just logged in form my laptop and oh man, that image is huge! I guess the new app doesn't resize images like the old one. I removed the picture at this time.

I purchased a complete set from Pelican Parts and they fit perfect. I did not have to cut anything to get the right size. RRC715
