I am having a hard time locating replacement wiper blades for my Challenger, does any one have a part number for replacements?

I went with Trico aftermarket blades. Just be careful if you want any blade to slide back nice and cozy under the hood. There could be clearance problems.

So they are a standard 16" refill? It's been a few years since I have replaced them due to me not driving my Challenger in the rain, but now that it's my daily driver again I need to replace them.

Trico says 16-2 is an exact fit....they will be black rather than silver, someone mentioned someone is making a retro blade but I have not found yet

Got some from YO with a big order.  Fit nice and look nice in the satin metal.

Trico Classic...does not list for Chally but the last three digits are the same 33-162 I'm pretty sure they would work

Trico makes a blade called Classic and it properly fits under the hood without touching the lip.Parts stores don't usually carry them but can be ordered in.

Finally found something that works down here in the Bay Area. Anco refills, part number 11-16. It was like finding a needle in a hay stack. Glad that nightmare is over, just in time for our first storm too. Thanks everyone to the suggestions.

if you have the original steel backs just slide in a new refill , not much new stuff will clear the hood

Digging up this old topic, I can't find anything that will fit under my hood.

I ordered the Trico Classics (33-162), hope they do the trick.
