    Wiper blade refills 68

    Wiper Refills, so where do you get yours from as looking as most refills have either a 6mm or 8mm track width yet when I measured my 68 ones they are more like 10mm. I don't want to squashed them if they are supposed to be this wide, any help ideas please guys? Or is this yet another 68 only issue
