Wiper Blade refills?

When was the last time anyone did that?

Sometime around the early 00's, they completely changed the way "refils" work.
The new ones are thinner and won't work in the old style blade holders.
They are also three pieces, with the metal supports seperate and a royal PITA to asemble.
I just did it a few weeks ago. Anco wipers (yellow and blue packages) still sold today work and the blades are cheaper…. Sorry but when did wiper blades start selling for $25 each? Frecken auto part stores are charging more than the dealers. Sorry - a little rant.
Anyhow, they are out there. I paid like $10 per blade.
