Pete,
i am not sure, i just rang them with the part numbers and they gave me the price.
i am just a retail customer, i am not in the trade.
amcap in Perth are dodgy as when it comes to prices, seems to be a case of who you get on the phone and if he or she got jam on their toast in the morning.
i did notice the column to the left says list price and thats a bit higher.

Thanks for this Pete.
Picked up some this morning from Covs.
$17.50 for driver's side & $14.95 for passenger side.
I tried the local Holden dealer for a quote. They don't stock the arms anymore, only the refills and the genuine arms although, strangely, he did have a price in his system. I told him I would pass on the genuine given the price differential. He indicated he might reconsider stocking the AC Delco ones now lol.
Also interesting was one Covs store quoted me the above prices but didn't have them in store so would have to wait until Monday (so next weekend for me) to order them in. The store I got them from initially quoted $20.61 & $17.52 respectively. When I mentioned the other Covs quote they said no worries, I can do that. Only a few $$ I know but I'll take it. I found it strange that the same company has different pricing at two different metro stores.

Just a quick update , it has been raining pretty solid here in Ballarat and these Ac Delco wipers are great, not a squeak nor squark- bliss
