Wiper question...

I had heard that the Trico wipers from Costco were good deals. However, when I went there today, they sell the whole wiper (with the arm as well).

Do I have to change the whole thing or should I just try to find replacement blades?

There was an article in consumer reports a long while back on windshield wipers and ANCO ranked very high (if not #1 - don't remember that good). I have used it exclusively for the past 4+ years and have been satisfied. They are not very expensive either.

edit: They are sold as replacement blades as well as entire arm assembly.

When I had my streaking windshield wiper fixed, the dealer replaced it with a new blade that actually had a wing type device on the wiper assembley. Seemed to be designed to keep the wiper against the glass at speed. Anyone else get one?
