What size does the CL-S take too? Seem a bigger drivers side wiper would be better. When I use mine, it leaves this big patch at the lower drivers side coner of the window. It's hard for me to see.

First of all u can get free wiper blades if your car has problems with smeary fluid dependign on your VIN number
if not, go to pep boys, and they will give u refills, like 7 bucks for 2.

i've had my blades replaced twice...
but if you want to try somethign else first - get a good non-ammonia based window cleaner, spray some on a clean rag and go at it on the wipers.... eventually all that black gook will be removed and the wipers will be almost as good as new

NON-ammonia based?
Just curious cuz I've always used Windex to clean my wipers... it normally takes about 3 times before it stops leaving a black residue on the paper towel.

i have used acura, bosch and triple edge blades. i think the triple edge are the best of the three because they are made out of silicone, the refills cost $2 a piece and are available at walmart.
are you wipers noisy as they shift directions?

Go to COSTCO and pick up a pair of 22" (DS) and 20" (PS) TEFLON wiper blades..
$16 a pair and it's worth every penny..the best blades you'll ever buy..
whoever pays $50 for wiper blades is a MORON.
