I had to get a new set of wiper blades for the Colorado $110 I nearly fell over and apparently I have to get genuine ones as super cheap , repco and the likes say they don't make after market has any one found a non genuine set by where thanks

Are  we talking just the rubber blade insert or the whole solid backing part that holds the rubber blade,  which they try and sell as a whole part?

I would be very surprised if you remove  the rubber blade and compare it to other blades that you  couldn't find something ro match
 I had the same problem with a merc i owned..
Just took the blade itself in compared them to others until i found a match.

It's much the same with daughters' Astra, but I'm not easily beaten.....

Once the plastic end caps are carefully prized off the flex-blade type arms, standard rubber inserts can be fitted.
Remove the old rubber insert, trim the new insert to length, and refit the end caps. Job done!!
They're not designed to be replaced, but it is possible.

Dunno if Colorado's are the same, though....

Copies from another sight.
but think this  might do the trick



Just a note, I know this is an old thread but have just replaced my wipers, yes thats right wipers, not wiper blades. 
$100 for a set of wiper blades from Holden, I don't think so.. After some research I found out you cant buy aftermarket blades to fit these things ( clever on Holdens behalf), so I bought a set of wiper arms off a D Max from the wreckers for the same price as new blades from Holden. They fit perfectly and work great, and I can go and buy replacement blades from Supercheap for $16. As my Collie spends majority of its life out in the weather, wiper blades don't seem to last long and I sure cant afford $100 a pop to replace them. Hope this helps others.
