2000 DSDP What Wiper Blades?

Time to change Wiper Blades. Current blades measure 28 inches. Trico website says 68-241 which are 24 inches. They look to be attached with a screw and little nut. Any advice?

Tom, I picked up blades at Costco .

Drilled out the rivet to the bolt size .
Have to remove the rivet as the head made the blade to wide.
Three years no issues .

I bought replacements while at the mothership, from the parts dept. One thing I noticed was that the new bolt and nut didn't fit correctly, so I used the old ones. Don't just toss the old parts until you know if the new work or not.
