Wiper Arms

I have a question....I put winter wiper blades on my car but now it is time to take them off and put on regular wiper blades.
The wiper blades that I removed were segmented and fit the window snug. Is this OEM or something that was done aftermarket.
I really like the segmented ones and was wondering if the rubber part alone can be replaced or if anyone knows who makes the segmented ones. Any help or input would be welcomed.

The blade part is segmented...I may have to take a picture of them for clarity.

I guess you mean the blades themselves were snug to the windsheld? If you did mean the arms, not sure exactly what your referring to.

But the frameless blades were factory on the HHR and several companines make them aftermarket. I prefer the Bosch Icons myself, get better life than some of the others I've tried (rain x).

I guess an even clearer description would be:
The bracket that holds the blade is segmented in a curve, not stiff like most other brackets.

TRICO Exact Fit PN#18-1HB is the duplicate of the factory OEM blades, check your local Advance/Autozone/etc.

They are referred to as frameless.

Thanks for the info....
The ones that were on my HHR do not look like regular wiper blades nor are they frameless. I have not had time to go and get the ones I am talking about out of storage unit and take a picture. I will do that soon.

Currently she resides at the dealership because the key would not turn the car off today when I stopped to get gasoline after work.

The ANCO profile blades aren't my favorites, like either the OEM or framed ones. Actually, the OEM ones seem to work the best for me.

I finally got around to looking at the website for my wiper blades.

It seems that I have the Exact Fit Hybrid. See how it is segmented in 3 sections? That is what I have been trying to describe, lol!

Thanks for the info and I will be buying a new set soon!
