2023 EUV Can't Find Wiper Blades That Fit

I am not satisfied with the performance of the Drivers side Wiper blade on my new (August 2023) EUV Premiere.

My problem is that I can't find wiper blades that fit the arm properly. I know that the blades are 24 and 16 inches, however, Chevy seems to have altered the mounting method for the blade and none of the brands I checked have the proper adapter for the 2023 EUV.

The problem is that Chevy changed the "release button" location from the end closest to the arm pivot, to the location farthest away from the pivot (see the photo below):

For example: the top wiper above shows the release button toward the left, however, on my 2023 EUV, the release button would be on the left side (closest to the end of the wiper arm).

Has anybody changed Wiper blades on a 2023 EUV and found a blade that fit?

Thanks for your help.

PS: I copied this image from another thread on this Forum, so, credit goes to the original poster.

PPS: I have tried Michelin, Peak, Trico, Bosch, Duralast, and several others, they just do not have the proper adapter.

That might be nice, however the OEM wiper was not available (anywhere).

I have found the aftermarket wiper blades to often be superior to the OEM wiper blades, and a darn sight cheaper.

PS: gm doesn't have wiper inserts for these blades. I don't think many OEMs offer inserts, that would ruin the profit margin and disincentivise sales of the whole wiper blade.

Hi All...

I bought new wiper blades from GM's website and when I got them I knew they were not going to fit like the originals that came with the car. I sprayed a little Windex on the blades that I got and slowly but surely pulled the rubber off the existing blades. I pulled the rubber off the new blades and put them on the existing blades and they work fine for me. I tossed the metal blades that came with the order. They work for me and I have a 2022 Bolt EUV.

GM published sizes for the EUV may be incorrect:

Edit:
Also, GM apparently changed the connector in the middle of a model year. Might have been a change in suppliers or something:

Has anyone compiled which blades work on EUVs by build date?

I have a very early build ‘22 built in 11/21 and I have yet to find a wiper blade that works. The Michelins from Costco fly right off. I tried Trico blades hoping they would work, but they ultimately have the exact same adapter. rather than throw these away I have resorted to zip tying these on, but if I am honest it doesn’t work well. At least the wipers don’t fly off now when I actually use them. I would like to not buy another pair that doesn’t fit. It seems like the arms were almost made incorrectly.
