I generally like the aero wipers without the metal frames. And I thought that I would like not having to switch wipers in the winter. But without the metal frame, I find that the aero wipers don't keep up with the snow too well. I actually prefer conventional winter wipers.
Are there any that would fit on this wiper arm?
Thanks!

I haven't run across it yet, but haven't really looked in stores either. Aside from that, OEM would be your only other option. Try a search and see if you can turn up the info on the Bosch blade.
Replacement wiper blade (oem style)...
Bosch Aerotwin (part # 3 397 118 933). See page 6 and page 11 of the link below.
As for where to get them...good luck. It's easy to find out who carries Bosch blades using their website, but not so easy to find out who carries these specific blades. And as to whether they are better than OEM...don't know. Same basic design though...you're not going to find a conventional framed wiper that will fit.<ul><li><a href="https://corporateportal.ppg.com/NR/rdonlyres/9FF1E79D-6E34-4901-85E0-F637351B7D68/0/221115_WBCatIntr_08.pdf">https://corporateportal.ppg.com/NR/rdonlyres/9FF1E79D-6E34-4901-85E0-F637351B7D68/0/221115_WBCatIntr_08.pdf</a</li></ul>

An ice storm had trashed one of my blades and I was desperate for a replacement.
They ran a computer search and came up with those Bosch blades as the only non-OEM fitment.
Naturally, they did not stock them but could order them and have them in a few days.
$89..... per blade.
I said no thanks and went to the dealer where I paid about $50 to replace the set with OEM.
