Default Trico Wiper Blade Refills

Where would one find the original Trico refills with the three rib design on the rubber? Are they still out there or are they being reproduced? It sounds like the legends judging requires these in order to not lose points.
Thanks!

15" trico refills are GM part number 3819074. AC Delco number is 03819074 They were still available a few months ago. They're the ones that have ribs across the back like the originals

Thanks For the replies. I looked at the Amazon link and it does not appear to have the ribs when looking at the zoom in photo and also using a magnifying glass. I wonder if it just does not have enough clarity to the photo?

I've found them on eBay from time to time. Keep in mind that the longer refills can be cut down in length to make the 15's, which are harder to find.

These may be what you are looking for?

BC,
These seem to look correct. The Trico Classic link may also be correct but not sure.
Thanks for the help on this. I may try one set of the Trico refills in the Ebay link and see.

It appears that those part numbers in the catalog are no longer active.

I didn't think the Trico classic series still had the patent info on them.
