metal wiper blades still available?

My 2013 came with oem metal wiper blades which were replaced with plastic ones from the dealership. I'm not really happy with the design of the plastic ones as the drivers side arm is so long that the bottom of the blade skips across the windshield after a few months use because the arm is too flexible. The dealership said the metal ones are not available and were replaced by the plastic ones. I'm not sure if that's true or if they were just feeding me a line to sell me what they had

I just replaced the actual rubber strips w/ new OEM rubber strips that go into the OEM wiper arms, it retains everything else.
Here's a link to an old post, but those part #s should still be valid, but you will need your OEM metal clips that the new OEM refills will slide into.

Just checked, they still have them (QuirkParts), $10 for the longer one, $8 for the shorter.

You're misunderstanding me. I don't need refills, I need a source for complete, metal wiper blades as opposed to the current plastic ones

I knew what you were wanting, I was just showing the part #s for the refills in case you still had the original ones on hand.
