I want to replace my windshield wipers.. They're starting to streak. What should I get? From where?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I guess anything would work, even a nice cheap set will do. I have PIAA wipers that I've had for 1.5yrs now and they still work great. I've seen rainX wipers in use and they work great as well, and a lot cheaper.

I install a new set of cheap narrow refills every spring because winter driving usually rips them up.
Doesn’t matter if they cost 2-bucks or 25, the ice, snow and salt will chew them up.

I just got the rain-x ones. nice. They wipe perfect and I can't hear them on the window at all when I'm driving. When I bought the car, the dealer installed the cheap Anco ones and everytime the drivers side was straight up and down, right before it would wipe downward it would make this awful SMACK!! sound. They sucked. I'd never buy 'em. The rain-x ones i got were reasonably priced and work great!

I have used the cheapy Anco ones and they after a couple months they started making a hell of a noise, and skipping on the up swing.
I'll be sticking with the Bosch Microedge, never had an issue with them, should get a year out of them.

Where is my super sauce?
I went with PIAA silicone wipers and am very happy with them. They were discounted on http://www.performanceproducts.com/ and ended up being cheaper then SilBlade which I also considered.
Also, I read somewhere in a car forum that while the SilBlade wiper is good, the frames occasionally broke. PIAA consistently gets good reviews as far as 'premium' blades go.
