    I bought my ‘16 three touring new. Several years ago nobody made direct replacements for the complete wiper blade assemblies. So I have had to resort to the factory rubber inserts. Does anyone now make a complete replacement? I remember this being a ‘16 only issue and the wiper arms were changed in later models. Anyone have info or experience with this? Thank you for your help.

    The factory silicone inserts are the cheapest and best option. If you want to change the whole assembly any AutoZone or Walmart will do.

    I just bought a roll of commercial wiper inserts and cut them down to size.
    I believe the OEM inserts was rubber, not silicone. At least on my car they barely made it 18 months. The commerical roll I bought was silicone based and has lasted me more than 24 months and counting, no chatter or skips, just a nice clean wipe..
