The above link will take you to wiper refills for Gen 1 Volt. Contrary to popular opinion, the blades are refillable and the procedure takes less than 5 minutes per blade. These are EXACT fit replacements, you just have to shorten them by about 2 inches. $8.75 vs $35 or more for new blades. The procedure is as follows:
1) Slide the rubber of the old refill back and forth at the end. One end will move, the other won't. The end that won't move is the end you need to remove the end cap from.
2) Use a medium screwdriver underneath and twist to remove the end cap.
3) You will see a tab with a couple little spikes that keep the insert in place. Take a narrow screwdriver and lift the tab just enough for the prongs to clear the rubber. Slide the refill out, cut the new one to its length, and slide the new one in, until it is flush with the end.
4) Take a pair of pliers and squeeze the tab back down. You can squeeze over the rubber, it won't hurt it. Press the end cap back on, be sure it goes on all the way till it hits the metal frame. One side done!
