455-245 part number at Carquest. It's a trico blade rebranded. Fit perfect...

right is 455-190
left is 455-245
Not exactly sure on the 15- but the 190 and 245 are correct and fit perfect. These are refill blades and you will need a needle nose pliers to squeeze the old blade out of the wiper arms.

I found the short side at Napa The longer one was too fat to fit the wiper claw.
(It was 8mm wide and the claw is 6mm)
I found the longer one (drivers side) at Carquest. Their p/n 455-245.
I bought two longer ones so I don't have to go through this again.
I don't have the p/n for the shorter one from Napa at hand.
It seems the shorter one is easy to find. The narrow fit at 6mm goes up to a 22inch length and after that >24 they're 8mm wide. A 24 inch insert with the narrow (6mm) claw is the one you have to search for.
hth,

(man I never thought wiper blades would be such a PITA!)

Wiper Blades
Yes, just snaps in. If you disasemble the wiper blade from the wiper arm, the wiper arm is the typical type with a "J" hook at the end. The plastic clip (which contains the windshield washer jets) will simply unsnap from the old wiper blade, and you snap it into the new wiper blade. Done! Actually quite easy, once you see it all apart. And this allows you to use an aftermarket wiper blade but still gives you a much higher quality blade than the "refill-only" style--these are apparently being phased out because the parts stores make a lot more money selling a 20 dollar blade than a 3 buck refill...
