2006 S40 Wiper Blade Replacement

I recently bought a 2006 S40 2.4i. I need to replace the windshield wiper blades. The windshield wiper blades recommended by all websites I visited and in my owners manual are the "pin" type. The wiper arms on my car do not fit that mount type. They have a small square button that is depressed, then the blade slides out. I need help determining which blades to order online and no one can seem to help me with this. I even provided the serial numbers from the wiper arm - which are 30699997 LHD DS & 30699998 LHD PS. Anyone got any info that might help me. The mechanic I have gone to for oil changes thought it might be a later model wiper arm, and offered to look for it and order it, but I'm perfectly capable of putting them on if I can just find out which type to order.

The pin type blades are the easiest blade change I have ever experienced. That is one really sweet design. I wonder why they changed it? Too good?
