2x. 15 inches. IIRC, NPD just started carrying repro frame with blades.
I've been having a helluva time finding just the refills... the local parts stores only offer the assembly.. Probably due to the fact that non-mechanical folks were unable just to change the blades. Lame.

But the newer blades (circa 1983 and later) do not have the button. The blade has to be bent into an arc, then the old insert is pulled out of either end, new insert installed same way.
When these blades came out, next to no one knew how to R&R the inserts, as there were no instructions included that showed how to do it.

Interesting. Thanks ND for the background... I'm of the genre of those that bend-outta-the-way.
Mike... maybe that's why I can never find them on the rack! I'll give it a shot... I think all of my toys have bad wiper blades.... a couple with just shreds left!
