wiper refills no longer available??
I know this is a petty thing to fuss about, but it appears that parts stores no longer carry wiper refills, only the whole blades. A few months ago I was in Wal-Mart and needing refills, but they only had blades. I didn't think much about it because they're not actually an auto parts store. But tonight I went into Autozone to get some refills, and they too only had the whole blades. I asked the counterman why they didn't have refills, and he said that Autozone, along with most all parts stores, have went away from stocking refills and now only offer the blades.
What a crappy way to make a buck. You could buy the refills for what you can buy one blade for, so basically they're MAKING you spend twice as much. And the refills are no more difficult to install than the blades.
Just had to rant, gets under my skin that they're basically saying, "we're gonna MAKE you buy this whether you like it or not!" _________________ NMCB 28 Seabee Battalion
