My local parts store no longer stocks our size either, but will order them.  
I have just put in an order for 4 sets to have on hand for the winter.  Our 21 
year old church van is in the same situation--and the whole blade assembly is 
of a weaker and thinner metal than OE if you buy a new one.  Seems as if 
we're in the same situation as with our 13" tires........
