I like my PIAA wipers. They are rather expensive but so far the extra cost has paid off.

Yeah, I believe I use the same ones, pick them up at Autozone. When you first put them on, and rub em down with the alcohol pad they give you, they work amazing. Mine are like 3 months old now and starting to get a little streaky already. :\ At least I think they are the Bosch ones, just some el-cheap0 ones I picked up at Autozone.

Save the alcohol pad for later when they start getting streaky. If I remember right they include them specially as a refresher.

Another trick is to take a cloth and wipe them down with vinegar when they start streaking.

Oh and I prefer Bosch.

Trico Innovision blades are, hands down, the best blade on the market. Not all that expensive, either.

Go get the Trico Exact Fit blades. They say OEM on them and they work awesome. I was sceptical because the box is so generic. They ended up being a little bigger, which is nice because now the whole windshield is getting wiped, not the mouse hole the factory ones put on there.

PIAA wipers have a 5 year warranty... take that into consideration when you pay 60 bucks for the pair
