I have two different types of wiper arms for my Alpine. One, I believe, is
known as a bayanet arm. The other blade has a crook shape on the end
fastened to the arm with a screw. The only refills I have seen for them are
the metal ones made by Anco (Spelling ?) Which do you have?
The bad thing about the second type is that you must keep that little screw
tight. It allows you to adjust the angle of the blade better, but boy does
it do magical and weird things when they come loose while in use!
