Long story short. When I was interested on get correct wipers because was tired of get aftermarket pieces locally hitting my hood, got to find an used set of correct ANCO blades from a DC.com buddy. Needed to get refills and got ANCO pieces too. They had incorrect notches location but with small file on metal strip made to fit, and got FINALLY good wipers, hidding down the hood without hit anywhere and wiping out really GREAT.
When new refills needed, replaced with an extra set I got. But wipers never wiped out as got than before.
Got new used ANCO blades, refinished and "refilled" from an ebay seller. Didn't wiped out good either. These were refilled with plastic strip refill kind.
Searching for another options found these ( they were a little bit cheaper when I got them maybe around a year ago ):

they are slightly diff with the original ANCO pieces. Note the blade shape with "double A" system:

when I got them in hands found they were TRICO ( Trico Classic )
www.tricoproducts.com/Drivers/WiperProducts/MoreProducts/Classic
Well... the pieces I got are 33-162
they are NICE, more slim than the ANCO, so a cleaner view mounted. They install by pressure with a loop spring, not a button and a tab
they are DIRTY CHEAP at Rock Auto... $3.12 each by mayorist liquidation.
Since I didn't have the PN for them somebody had to be the guinea Pig and pay the overprices on ebay
Searching for refills BY TRICO website, the Classic series refills are the 43 series...
www.tricoproducts.com/Drivers/WiperProducts/MoreProducts/WiperRefills
the PN for these is then 43-160. Rock Auto have them in $5.29... BUT NOTE... REFILLS ARE BEING SOLD BY PAIRS, not single like the blades.
These refills stated to be metal strip... The ones coming mounted on 33-162 Blades are plastic stripe ( like many aftermarket pieces ) with the metal clip attached onto plastic to snap it on the blade
and if you want an ever CHEAPER solution for refills... here you have:

shipping is more less the same, but saving couple of bucks by the item. IF YOU DON'T LIVE ON STATES WHERE THE SELLER HAVE SHOPS:

If you have a discount Rockauto code, that could work for better pricing.
Althought we are talking about some cents (Laughing Out Loud) ( Am I being too much Bobish ? (Laughing Out Loud), just a half of buck difference )
Don't search the Classic series wiper blades by car application at ROCKAUTO, simply because they don't appear there between the options.
