Default Windshield Wiper replacement?

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering where i can find a replacement wiper, since my clip the holds the wiper to the arm go broke going through the car wash. And since the X-types have the wind guard on the drives side, many wipers do not fit with the guard. I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy a new wiper that will fit the guard.
Thanks

Hi

I know I live in UK but have you tried eBay? I got a nice set of Bosch aerotwins for reasonable price.

I bought regular Bosh wipers from my local parts store. I discarded the wind guard. The wipers work fine in fast and slow speeds. I'm convinced the wind guard is purely cosmetic.

My wind guard is in the trunk too. I use Rain-X so I never use the wipers above 50MPH anyhow.

I bought the replacement blade inserts from my dealer. $15 each. Keep your stock hardware and replace just the rubber blades.
