Wiper Blade Insert by the Foot
Anyone know a place where you could buy wiper blade inserts (just the rubber) by the foot?
The why for the curious:
After getting a set of ugly bosh a while back as an OEM replacement for my w211 I just swaped the inserts from the new to the original wipers and since then I never buy wiper assemblies, but I have always wondered if I could by a roll of some kind with some 20 feet of insert and just cut to size and fit to whichever car needs it.

There is no standard wiper blade profile.
Varies from car to car along with specification of the rubber compound.
Inserts are available from Anco and Trico, inexpensive and usually fresh when you purchase.
