I always make sure that I'm having "trouble" with my wiper blades about 11 months after I buy a new vehicle. You'll get a warranty replacement set during the first 12 months of a factory warranty.

I have those contured rainX ones, they were like $18 at walmart and are awesome. I replaced the stock ones with these less than 2 months after I got my car and still noticed a good difference.

Alot of GM cars are going to that funny looking style wiper blade. I love the look on their faces when I tell them its about 40-50 bucks to replace your wiper blades.

I use these. And they rock IMO. I know a couple people back on my home forum that love them too.

It's wiper blades, who gives a crap where it comes from. It's not like walmart had bums make them out behind the store.
More than about $5 per blade is a waste of money. I've tried MANY different kinds thinking the more expensive ones would wipe better and last longer due to the "special rubber." NOPE! It's just marketing that takes advantage of people who see a fancy label and a high price that automatically think it's superior stuff. Sometimes, yes, the cheaper things are crappier (tools are a good example). But most of the time that's not the case.

Thats why their name brand stuff is crap.

RE: windshield wiper blades
Rain X Latitudes are they best I have ever used. They are a little bit bulky, but if you can get over that, they work great. You can find them for buy one get one all the time. They don't streak and they don't lift at highway speeds.
