You can only fit the current style due to the bayonet fitting, your choices are going to be limited to two brands Valeo and Bosch.

I have factory blades which will be Valeo Top Lock mounting system. Bosch makes their "Evolution" blade with this mounting system.

I don't know where you'd get these where you are buy amazon sells them. Just measure the two blades (they are different lengths with the driver's side longer) and order by length. There are part numbers but darned if I can find them again. I googled them once before but can't remember what I searched for. The Bosch USA site is useless.

My current car has a complete warranty that covers even wiper blades so I have not bought any yet.
