I can still get them, but wiper arms are wicked expensive - a pair of AW11 arms would be $167 plus $9-12 for shipping. If yours are just faded, save the money and invest in a little elbow grease, sandpaper, self-etching primer, and trim paint:

Wow! The reason for the new arms was because the plastic ears that hold the wiper on cracked in half and it sent my wiper flying off! If that plastic screw on piece that goes onto the arm is part of the blade, which it sounds to be with the way you described it, then I will just get a set of blades.

Thank you!
