Wiper blades

So I was trying to put in wiper blade refills and managed to destroy the driver side blade...not the entire complex but the pull out refill. So Ive been back and forth to several places and I am have problems finding something that fits properly. I shoulda never started by going to Walmart.
I know this is something easy to fix but for some reason I keep getting screwed. Anyone know exactly what I need to get for a 2K se max?? And I dont want anything really expensive like those piaa blades...I just cant see paying $20 for wipers...something cheap/reasonable is fine for me.
Thanks

I can't remember the exact size, but just remove the entire wiper and bring it to an auto parts store with you. You can figure out the length from that. If you buy new wipers, not just refills, you will probably spend a minimum of $16. I've never bothered with doing the refills. I just pay the extra money for the whole wiper and replace those. Takes about 30sec each.

Do you happen to know the sizes for the both sides? The whole wiper I mean, not just the refill.

I believe it's 26 for driver side, 17 for passengers. The 26 is a super-odd size. I've only seen the ANCO brand in AutoZone have it.
