RE: Wiper blade worn out
For future reference. I highly recommend the blades i have supplied a link to. They are 100% Pure Silicone and will last longer than any Rubber or silicone coated blade on the market. I currently have a a set on all my vehicles other than the Mustang since it does not get driven in the rain. They are a bit on the pricey side but they have a 5 year warranty. I currently have about 4 years on my oldest set and they still work great. No replacing them every 6 moths like normal rubber blades.

Like I said pricey but well worth it. If you average the cost out over a 5 year period which is what the warranty is, then they only cost 6.00 per year just like a normal rubber blade.

Their pricing includes shipping also.

I've already bought and installed the Rain-x blades so I'll wait till they are worn out before buying more

This must be a joke but ok I will bite.
Do not go to Walt-Mart; go to AutoZone or the like.
Everyone should avoid Wal-Mart like the plague; their business practices are horrible for America.
Educate yourself and Google it.

What a coincidence, last night it started Raining, I put the wipers on and they were useless. I just happened to be near a Pep Boys Store, went in, got Rain-X replacements 22" and 20 "......and as Johnny Nash would say "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone....."
