Background If you own a 2nd Gen Chevy Trax ('24 and ‘25), or any Chevrolet with their new propreitary wiper blade connector, and you've run into the same problem where aftermarket windshield wipers don’t attach correctly to the wiper arms, welcome to my post! I understand your pain, and I empathize with you. While I don't own a Trax, I did find out about this problem while trying to replace the blades on my girlfriend's Trax, and realized it was a MUCH bigger issue after investigating online. At first, I tried installing Rain-X Latitude wiper blades and after attempting to install them, they didn't sit correctly in the connector and I ended up returning them. Then, I got the Trico Force wiper blades instead and discovered they have the same problem as the Rain-X ones: the connector doesn't attach properly with the adapter. Finally, I tried to look into getting the OEM wipers but they are completely sold out. And they are not available in auto stores or general stores, nor were any dealerships near me in stock with them. I started to realize that this was a major problem. Dejected and upset, I came close to giving up completely and was planning on returning the wiper blades. But then I had an epiphany: I have a printer, I can just CREATE a solution! So, I kept the Trico Force blades I purchased and set off on my journey to make them work. And that is how we got here.   Details I don't believe the problem applies to all Trax vehicles, but the issue is because the Push Button for the arm is in the wrong location on the arm. It follows the same standard as the the Push Button Narrow (PB Narrow), but instead the button hole is closer to the end of the arm on these models (see these two images below).

GM designed the arm and blade to interlock.
