Wiper Refills

[99silveradoz71]

Need to replace the wiper inserts on my 99.  The dealer took care of it the last time, but now it's my chore.  It appears that the slide down into the clips on the wiper arms, but I'm not sure if anything needs to be pushed or how they lock in.  I've only installed the whole new blades on previous vehicles, but can't see spending that much more on factor blades when the arms are still in good shape.
