G01 wiper inserts

I can't recall the thread where I had talked about wiper inserts being replaced separately from the actual blade assembly.

Here is the part number for just the rubber inserts.

Thanks, freshxdough!
Just to be clear, is there one insert per package?

It's a pack. Comes with driver and passenger side.

FYI, you can find this online as P/N 61617469822. Are these hard to install? Some wiper blade inserts are quite finicky to install...

These wiper inserts are definitely unique as you don't pop the caps off the side of the blade. There's a slot about 1 inch from the ends of each end. You need to grab the end of the wiper rubber, and push toward the other side and then pull it out at the slot. Feed it out and discard. Insert the new one into the slot and then squeeze the end in and tuck it under the slot.

It's a little hard to explain, but hopefully you'll understand it once you see it.

Bosch Aerotwin A323S are the same blades as OEM. Might even be cheaper than the inserts.
