Wiper blade adapters!?!?

[Satan]

Okay, so we've all swapped out our stock wiper blades (not the refills, but the holder itself)...

I got a few ANCO wiper blades to match the ones we got for the GF's MKIV... 18, 19, and 20 inch... That way, when we buy refills, we both get a new set, since refills come in pairs.

So, unlike the previous times I swapped these, they did not come with the handful of adapters for universal fit... they say (according to the "application look-up" computer at the auto parts store), that I will need "wiper blade side adapter #48-08," which probably used to come standard with a wiper blade (at least in my previous sets).

So, I've searched, and searched and gone back to the parts store several times and can't get this little freakin' adapter.... Does anyone know where I can get a few?

What's wrong with the OEM wipers, personally I think they are one of, if not the, best wipers to use on the car. I just get OEM refills from Toyota...

Nothing's wrong with 'em.... But instead of buying refills and letting the extras get beat-up in the garage, we can replace 'em on both Supras at the same time (since the refills come, 2-to-pack). Plus... I like the idea of more real-estate being cleared (in the rain) on the front and rear glass.
