Wiper refills - where to get orginal?

Anyone have any good cheep sources of orginal wiper refills? I have not been back to the dealer since my warranty ran out (now have 100K miles). I have tried all the after market blades-sucks you cant even buy refills for them anymore! They just don't slide or last like the dealers blades. Just bought Good Year blades at Costo ($8 each), they look very impressive-like a winter blade and they have a forced curve to them. They are the WORST - DO NOT BUY THEM! The forced curve is so strong that the center doesnt touch the windsheild. This may get me back to the dealer as they might not even be charging more for the refills than buying the whole arm every 2 months.

With a BMWCCA discount, I get wiper refills at $10 a set from the dealership. That lasts me around 6 months before I have to go back again.

They are cheap as hell at the dealer. They only stock one length and you have to cut it to fit your size. At my local dealer they list for $3.30 each and with the BMWCCA discount they were $2.81 each, lol.

Otherwise, buy Bosch Icons. They are the best aftermarket blades I have ever used.
