08 Georgetown wiper blades

[margesdiamond]

Anyone with a good replacement wiper blade for our 08 Georgetown....our originals have been real good but are starting to show their age....any mfg's or model numbers for a 26 inch replacement....I want to be right the first time with the cost of these babies.....Bob

I think I bought my wiper blades at Autozone but not sure. A search shows Walmart, and Target has them in the store in the 26 inch size. A phone call will answer if they are in stock or not.

10 years on a set of windshield wipers?
I’d say you got your money’s worth.

26” blades are easy enough to shop for from Walmart to any of the automotive type shops.....Advance Auto, O’Reillys, Autozone etc.

We tried Walmart and autozone but no luck as the wipe arm is wider. Got ours at Camping World. Replace ours every 2 years.

Walmart sells wiper blades up to 28" that come with inserts for both sizes of "J" hooks. Got mine there for my GT.

I buy mine from Amazon. Lowest price I have found.

Rain-X weather beater blades are the best sellers in our shop. Have them on everything I own and they last.

Biggest thing is to double check they work with large J hook installation. I may look at just replacing rubber portion of wiper my next change. They seem to be very inexpensive online.

I own a 08 Georgetown 340, wipers come with a small and large adaptor.
hope this helps. Wipers run about $9.00 ea.

campdoc...

What size blades are you using on your Georgetown?

Where are you getting them at that price?

Thanks

I bought mine at Wal-Mart. $9.00 for 28"

I've never found any wiper blades at a retail or big box store that will fit the extra wide arms that FR used (?still uses?) on the Georgetowns. Standard blades have adapters that will fit wiper arms up to 12mm but the arms on my 2011 Georgetown are 14mm. If Camping World carries the blades, that's one source. I've gotten replacement blades (two to a box) from FR parts.

There is, however, another solution. If you have a set of jeweler's screwdrivers and small needle nose pliers, you can remove the clip from one end of the rubber blades then remove and replace the blades. I found replacement blades that fit the wiper frame on Amazon. I purchased Trico 45-280 700mm refills which are a perfect fit. At $6/blade they're much less expensive than a new wiper assembly.

I only wish that I could get the "single beam" type wiper blades as replacements. These have no joints to gather snow and freeze up in the Winter.

I tried to do that, install the refill and first thing that happened I threw out the refill. It just would not hold securely. Maybe it was a different type than you used but I didn’t try anything else , just bought new blades at CW.

I have a 2012 GT 378 and get my blades at Walmart. They have blades that come with both width adapters for the "J" hook.
