Seconded.

I originally bought mine from Imparts, but they are marginally cheaper
at WalMart.  They are excellent wipers, and last a long time, even in
salt-infested New England.

Unfortunately, my wife's are takes 21" narrow refills, so I'm stuck.
I think I'll replace the entire blade assembly this fall, so we can
use the same refills.
