OK, you'd think this was a simple repair, but I'm looking for wiper blades for a 95 YJ, Canadian tire, NAPA and another parts store I went to don't even show a listing for front wipers for a 90s YJ, I can get the back one, and there are listings for 97 on. So aside from DC, which we no longer have a dealer in town for, where do you get wiper blades for a YJ?
95 YJ wipers

Hey Greg..
I was just as confused when I went to Crappy Tire for wipers... I didn't think they had any either, but they do. They just don't offer them in anything other than the cheap steel ones, for the front. There are a bunch of different types of blades in that book (teflon, winter, etc.) but the only one for the YJ front is the steel one, so you have to look carefully...

Ask at the parts counter.. the computer there holds way more info than the application guides..

try jcwhitney or any other site like that...
Same for the CJ ones. CT has them if you look hard.

I've read 3 replies, problem is, I was looking in CTs book when the parts guy said he could look it it for on the comp, that's when they told me they showed no front blade for a 95 YJ, same at other two places, looking in computer showed nothing.
Remove one of them, go into Canadian Tire and ask if you can compare the original with what they have in stock.. Canadian Tire's application guide doesn't give a rear blade type for the early GC's.. NA according to the book.. and they don't have wiper arms short enough to replace the rather stiff thing on the back of mine.. so I looked at the spring things that they sell and it was not immediately obvious which to use.. the package suggested that a glimpse at the application guide would reveal all.. this assumes the presence of an application guide.. I asked the guy at the counter, and that is when I found out that they know more than they appear to.. he looked at the computer and told me which to use.. no problem, it worked well.. there are some in these parts that affectionately refer to Canadian Tire as 'Crappy Tire'.. I am one of them..
In fairness, they are not as bad as some.. I heard of somebody who went to a breakers yard to look for replacement wheels for a BMW 318i.. the gorilla there told him that he had some 13" wheels that would fit.. best part is that he believed it.. needless to say that the 13" wheels would not fit where 14" had been previously, and the gorilla would not take them back.. I doubt that even Crappy Tire personnel would be that stupid.. lol..

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't these just plain old 18" Ansco type clip-on blades?
