i've tried the michelins and they are okay but at high speeds they dont work the best. I bought my girl some rain x wipers from walmart and those work great. going 80mph in the mild rain they hold up really well...

Rain X wiper from walmart also. I've had the bosch and piaa wipers and these rain x are way better than bosch and the same as the piaa.

As others have suggested, the plain Rain-X wipers work very well. If you want something fancier and more expensive, you can try the relatively new Rain-X Latitude.

Go to autozone, get some there, for Hondas the windshield wipers there work fine - and the price is okay too.

Obviously you can't get a more complex wiper like the benz there (as that's a $250+ blade but for Hondas/Acuras just go to autozone, I forgot the brand, it's a brand they have 1 million of. They're usually fine. Never had any problem w/ them on a econobox like my probe or civic.

The Mercedes-Benz single wipers use standard refill blades. List price for the Rain-X blade for the '94-'05 E-class single wiper is only $20.99.

I am curious about the new rain-x valeo style blade...but I cannot justify $20 on a wiper.
Hell, I used to LOVE the $2 wipers from Road and Track that Target used to sell.
They were actually a really great blade...and I dont mean "a great blade for $2".

Those valeo wipers look a lot like the bosch icons my idiotic friend paid 20 bucks each for. I figure why not just get some decent wipers for 5 bucks each and change them out twice a year?

I have Bosch Icons, and they are great.

Grip like hell, no streaks, and look great.

Rainx wipers with rainx washer fluid.

Chances are you probably wont need to use the wipers, I drive 70mph without my wipers all the time.

RainX washer fluid FTW
