The HD blades seem to be wider than regular blades.  I have never purchased a regular blade that is 28" so maybe they are wider.

The Rockauto $1.26 blades are still available.  They are in NAPA packaging.  I am considering ordering another batch, but unsure how long they last.  The two orders I placed so far have been fine.

I just use a couple of tennis balls under the wiper arms to keep the blades off the windshield while parked.  Saves the rubber from taking a "set" like Chessie mentioned above. That idea may not work for you on the Dina, but easy to try.

When I do replace them, I buy the complete blade assembly, easier to find/order than just the rubber inserts (I have the smaller, 20" blades on my MCI.)

FWIW & HTH. . .

If I may put my 2 cents worth in, Camping World has a kit that contains two mirror covers and two wiper covers .Had mine for a long time so I don't remember how much they were but they were not expensive.

Many of the better wiper blades sold by Walmart and others, have a plastic strip protecting the rubber wiping portion. Buy a set for your car that uses blades that long and save the protectors for the coach.
