Try a little dish soap on the rubbers.
If they are UK made they should be a bit tough but will fit perfectly once
you get them in the hole. If they are Taiwan made, throw them out!
They just aren't even close.
Seven Enterprises sells the correct ones.
You can also find a reasonably close alternative at a well stocked hardware
store. I forget what they call them but they work. They are just a bit
thinner on one side, I mounted the thin side inside the car, the outside
looks the same and buffers the wiper motor just as good as the originals,
they were about 25 cents each as opposed to the "wiper mount kit" which
includes new studs, nuts, washers, and grommets.
