Default Blade inserts?

On my other vehicles dealers sell blade inserts for wiper blades so when the time comes you only swap the inserts and not the entire arm.

Saw a dealer display the other day with arms only so I wanted to ask if they sell blade inserts for our trucks or will I have to replace the entire arm?

Just curious....

The frameless wiper blades that come on new trucks are one piece. There are no rubber inserts. Just another way to make more money. Actually the frameless blades clean much better. Just put a set on my 2013 F150. Cost about $33 for the set. Bought them on the internet from wipers123.

I have converted all of my vehicles to the frameless blades. Most chain store auto parts sell them. $25 to $30 is about right. They're the best blade I've ever used. They are especially great in snow country. Once you get used to the look you'll never go back.
