Exclamation Wiper blade refills

G'day

Had the first rainy drive in my Focus today (of course I washed it yesterday!) and instantly discovered it needs new wiper blade refills. :

I dropped into SuperCheap and their wiper catalogs didn't even have the Focus listed.

Can someone tell me which K-Mart / Supercheap / Repco / etc wiper refills fit, or do I have to go to Ford to get them?

Cheers,

Mick.

Bought some generic 6mm plastic backed blades from Repco. They seemed quite loose to put in, but they seem to work OK.

Been thinking of slightly extending the length of my blades, to cover more windscreen area and help reduce that silly drip point at the top... will get around to it one day...
