why would you want to replace your wipers every two months when you can just stop beating around and buy a decent set off the bat and not have to worry about it? that just doesn't make too much sense to me... sorry.

Nothing wrong with the $3 blades at walmart, they actually last quite a long time. And like mentioned who cares if they don't last as long as the high end ones, buy a new set and you're still way ahead on price. Even the expensive blades unless they're silicone don't last THAT long anyways, but a little parts cleaner and a paper towel up and down the blade and they wipe like new again.

How can you say that Bosch doesnt make blades for the 5.0.... just find the length you need, and buy the appropriate size

all you need are 16" blades(iirc) and im pretty sure everybody makes a 16" blade, but it may not have the right connection for lack of a better term.

i run the $6/7 wipers from advance. they last me about a year to a year and a half. i like them.
